MERRILL - The Merrill Bluejays accomplished something they have not done since 1982 - qualify for state.

With the victory - Merrill will play in the state quarterfinals in Green Bay. Bluejays face Muskego at 4:30pm on Thursday. Merrill is (41-3) while Muskego is (31-11) and state-ranked.

WAUSAU - Last June, Kerby Kneiss died after he was beaten to death with a baseball bat.
Prosecutors think Warren Krohn was one of the men who killed Kneiss.
But Krohn's lawyer argues police might not have collected the evidence against him legally.
Krohn's lawyer argued that what he said while police interrogated him shouldn't be used in court. They say he was in police custody - but was not informed of his Miranda Rights.
ST. GERMAIN - Doctors don't know why they're diagnosing more and more children with autism. It’s hard to know what therapy works best for each child.
Today at Camp AweSum in St. Germain, kids on the Autism Spectrum got a chance to interact with horses.
"I saw him smiling up there, just kind of spontaneously. I think the horse kinda shook and he thought that was kinda funny," said Becky Howell-Adams, the mother of a 9 year old with autism.
For some autistic children smiles are hard to come by. Making a connection like that people or animals is special.
WAUSAU - The General Assembly takes up the budget Tuesday. Monday, some local representatives and school officials talked to the public about why they believe the budget will hurt schools.
Democratic representatives Mandy Wright and Katrina Shankland spoke in Wausau today.
Shankland, who represents Stevens Point, stated, "In the last session, Republicans took over 1.6 billion dollars from our public education. They robbed our students of $550 in aid per student. And in this budget, they only return $150. That simply is not acceptable."
