Dr. James Alan Michaels, 70, of Dousman, was identified as the pilot killed when his L-39 Albatros jet crashed near Mayfield-Graves County Airport, according to the Graves County Sheriff's Office.

WIAA Football preview: Lake Mills tussles with West Salem for spot in state championship game
LAKE MILLS — If the L-Cats’ defense continues to make plays, there will be plenty of reasons to continue flashing the double thumbs-down sign. That sign, taken from the film Gladiator, has been a rallying cry for Lake Mills’ football team, which faces West Salem in a WIAA Division 4 Level 4 game on Friday at 7 p.m. at Stoughton High School for the right to play at Camp Randall Stadium in the state finals. “We’ve been doing the thumbs down gesture since week three against Lakeside,” senior wide receiver and linebacker Blake Bohlman said. “Coach Tyler Huber pulls up a movie clip every week and it’s kind of a theme we roll with. We watched the scene where a thumbs up and he lets them live and thumbs down, he finishes them. It’s a reminder to not get complacent.” Defensive end and tight end JP Brzowski, another one of the team’s 14 seniors, said the thumbs-down sign is about showing no mercy. “It’s been our mentality,” Brzowski said. “We never want to let them have any hope.” To reach their first-ever Level 4 game in the modern era — and second state semifinal in school history (1987) — the

Girls basketball preview: Buttchen, Grady set to lead Red Hawks
MILTON — While the Milton Red Hawks won’t be completely running it back with the same squad that reached the sectional final one season ago, they return most of the essential components used to form that deep playoff run. The Red Hawks saw two seniors graduate, one of whom was four-year varsity player Nayeli Kilen, who played a vital role on offense and defense. But Milton has a plethora of talented guards who will look to replace that production. Seniors Kylee Buttchen and Sydney Grady form the backcourt. Buttchen poured in a team-high 14.9 points per game last season to go along with her 3.6 rebounds and two assists. Grady averaged 8.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and three assists. Milton coach Stacy Skemp says that they’ve both had great summers and great AAU seasons. “I think they’re ready to be the calm, composed, experienced varsity athletes that we’ve been building them up to,” Skemp said. “I think they both bring different styles of play and different keys to our success.” Skemp said Buttchen’s always been good at hitting 3-pointers and getting to the rim. “She’s really worked hard to advance her pull-up game, floater game and her defensive intensity,” Skemp said.
