He tried to go deep, deep, deep." Senior quarterback Jeramiah Os- terander threw for two touchdowns and ran for another after throwing a handful of interceptions in the team's first two games. One of those touchdown passes was a 70 yard bomb to Montoya on the opening play of a drive in the second quarter, and midway through the third quarter, junior Sam McCttllough took a handoff up the middle and ran nearly un- touched 75 yards into the endzone. "Everything was clicking for us (Monday) night," Montoya said. It took a while for the Cougars to get going though in the opening quarter, facing a Goldendale defense that was fLxated on stopping the run. The Cougs fumbled the snap on the game's fwst play but immediate- ly recovered it. Montoya took the ball on the next play and bounced outside for 20 yards, the first of many long, tough runs on the night. Goldendale freshman Nick McK- une nearly came up with an inter- ception on a tipped pass, but the ball just skimmed the grass before he was able to get his hands on it. Later on a fourth and 11 play, Colton Ward and Austin McKune sacked Osteran- der to force the turnover on downs and give the Wolves the ball for the fast time.

They converted two straight fourth down plays onstrong runs from Pomerinke and :senior Cort Ladiges, but were forced to punt on their first two possessions. The Cougars started their second possession on their own 17 after a Goldendale punt and went to work. They had a good balanced drive of running and passing plays before Osterander ran it into the endzone from five yards out. They got the ball back and dodged another bullet after recovering an- other fumble.

Montoya continued to show off his unmatched athleticism after re- turning an interception for a touch- down, which was called back after a penalty, and taking a sweep 44 yards into the endzone to cap the game's scoring at 38-0. "It was nice to come up here and get our first victory," Antoine Mon- toya said. "We figured that it was going to be a good competition. We had a gameplan coming in and we just wanted to take it to them."
