The Montesano Bulldogs came out as chilly as the evening, but warmed to the task at hand and closed out the regular season with a 46-13 exclamation over the Ocosta Wildcats Friday night at Jack Rottle Field.
As undisputed South Central League football champions, the undefeated (9-0 overall, 7-0 in league) Bulldogs enter the state Class A playoffs next week ranked number two in the state and running on all cylinders.
Amid rumors of college scouts in attendance, Monte’s big guns put on a show. Brian Winkelman rushed for a touchdown, passed for a score, and caught a TD pass. Pete Muller rushed for 110 yards on 6 carries and a score and was on the wide-open receiving end of Winkelman’s TD pass.
And not to be outdone, Brian Talley threw a TD pass and ran one in on a keeper.
Almost forgot Ryan Wilson. He went off-tackle on a one-play, 70-yard TD drive with 1:05 left in the first quarter.

• A night of sparkling performances was topped off with the coronation of Grays Harbor’s crown jewel for 1995, Elma’s Krystle Ann Ochsner.
The 17-year-old senior from Elma High School was crowned last night at the 1995 Miss Grays Harbor Scholarship Pageant, at the 7th Street Theater in Hoquiam. Her riveting performance of the Dolly Parton ballad, “I Will Always Love You” brought cheers of delight from the near capacity crowd. The stunning songbird was ravishing in a red and gold sequined evening gown.
• Grays Harbor Superior Court officials say a busy year of criminal cases has drained the budget for defending indigents accused of felonies.
The county commissioners have been asked to authorize an emergency infusion of $130,000 to keep up with the demand.
The original $250,000 budget is depleted because more indigent people than expected were accused of felonies, including an abnormally high five murder trials, officials, say.
Each indigent defendant must have a lawyer, and many also get investigators to work on their behalf. An some need interpreters.
“It strikes to the heart of fairness,” said Judge Gordon Godfrey. “Is it fair for someone to be accused of a crime and not have any tools to understand what’s going on? No, that’s not fair.”
