And the No. 26-seeded Cougars gave No. 3 Garfield all it could handle before falling 1-0 in overtime in Friday's quarterfinal loss at Garfield. It took 95 minutes for Garfield's Cristian Vidal to run down a long pass and nail a hard shot from about 20 yards out. It was Vidal's school-record 23rd goal of the season and sent the Bulldogs (15-2-2) into Tuesday's semifinal against Belmont. Kennedy's season ended at 10-8-5. Garfield made it clear from the start it was trying to push the ball forward to Vidal or forward Carlos Gomez.

They were effective against El Camino Real's Gerardo Herrera and Basil Grant of Chatsworth, and Singer didn't think Vidal was any faster. ``What Sanchez lacks in speed, he makes up for in determination,'' Singer said, ``and what Zuniga lacks in height, he makes up for in speed.'' Damwijk, meanwhile, was pressured throughout the match and needed to make six saves. His biggest was one minute into overtime, when he leaped forward and made a one-handed save. Damwijk has been playing soccer for most of his life. He started playing goalie two years ago because his knees didn't form properly and couldn't handle the running around on his 5-foot-9, 175-pound frame. He didn't mind the switch to goalie because, ``It was always something I liked to do,'' he said. Garfield gave him plenty of work. ``A lot of pressure. It's one of the scariest things. You never know when the ball's coming,'' he said.
