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

New Richland is ‘out of the crisis’ after September floods

After about 700 square miles of south and southeastern Minnesota was flooded with 6 inches or more of rain in 24 hours, senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, along with Rep. Brad Finstad, asked President Donald Trump and his administration to approve the state of Minnesota’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration for Individual Assistance. Gov. Tim Walz’s request for disaster assistance for the period of Sept. 18-20 covers Fillmore, Houston, Steele and Waseca Counties. New Richland, a city of 1,200, was flooded with about 9 inches of rain, which forced evacuations during the Sept. 19 flood. The Waseca County Board of Commissioners had declared a state of emergency after the flood. “In the city of New Richland alone, more than three-quarters of homes are damaged and residents of a skilled nursing facility were evacuated and unable to return to the facility,” the Democrats and Republican wrote in a letter to Trump on Nov. 3. “This storm event has been assessed as at least as destructive as the July 2026 mega-rain that many of these communities experienced and were recovering from just months prior.” Minnesota Realtors and the REALTORS Relief Foundation announced in October that a $70,000 grant was available
