When Nelson landed, he suffered a torn ACL and torn meniscus in his knee Wednesday at Ringhausen Gym in Hardin. Bonnie Snyders / For The Telegraph. HARDIN – Corey Nelson got the news he was hoping for Jan. 27 when the IHSA released its plan for basketball, football and baseball. The Calhoun senior was more than willing to cram all three of his sports seasons into the five months remaining in the school year. “I’ll play all three seasons at the same time if I have to,” he said. Instead of three seasons, Corey Nelson got one game. Instead of three seasons, Corey Nelson got three minutes. “Three minutes,” Warriors basketball coach Ryan Graner said. “Three minutes and one nasty dunk.” The dunk had become a trademark for the 6-foot-7 guard who was the Telegraph Small-Schools Basketball Player of the Year last season as a junior. The nasty came when he landed. “He came down normal,” Graner said of Nelson’s dunk on a break early in Calhoun’s 65-33 win over Barry Western last Wednesday in Hardin, “and the knee gave out.” Torn ACL. Torn meniscus. Three seasons and one prep career are over for the talented kid Graner two weeks earlier called “definitely a generational athlete in a school like Calhoun.” A dark senior year that COVID-19 turned into an emotional roller coaster had finally provided some light for Nelson, a quarterback in football and pitcher in baseball. Even shortened seasons figured to fill a scrapbook with Nelson’s athletic achievements. Instead, he gets one page with one sad story. “On top of everything these kids have had to go through the last nine, 10 months,” Graner said. “To have lost hope and then have it all brought back, from zero to 100 in a week, spirits up, everything looking great. And to have it all, for lack of a better term, come crashing down that quickly, it really is a travesty.” Nelson fell to the court with that gym-silencing scream that comes with the most sinister of knee injuries for an athlete. Still, there was a hint of optimism when Nelson rose from the court. “The initial shock kind of subsided a little bit, we got him up and he slowly walked in the locker room,” Graner said. “The trainer checked it out and thought, structurally it didn’t feel bad. He’s kind of got loose knees anyway. The thinking was he’d get a MRI and hope for the best.” But by game’s end, with Nelson talking to teammates in the locker room, much of any optimism was lost. “Corey just went to turn and it gave out again,” Graner said of the damaged knee. “That’s when I knew it was bad.” The doctor’s visit and tests the next day confirmed the fear. Nelson had gotten bigger and stronger for his senior seasons. He will need inner strength, to watch rather than play. “He’s here at school, being a great teammate,” Graner said Friday. “His spirits are much better than I would expect for a kid his age. He’s handling it like a man.” Now, Calhoun Warriors basketball must find a way to handle the loss of a player through which everything, at least close to everything, ran. “No, everything,” Graner corrected. Expectations were great for a Warriors team coming off a 25-8 season that secured a Class 1A regional championship. Four starters were projected to return, making WIVC and sectional titles reasonable goals in 2021. But adversity came before Nelson’s knee gave way. Mason Pherigo, sixth man last season and an expected starter this season, transferred to Pittsfield before school began. And with returning starter Colby Clark opting not to play as a senior, the Warriors were already tested. “We’re reeling a little bit,” Graner said. “We’ve got a lot of new faces in positions they’ve never played before. It’s going to be a challenge. We’ve gone from being a potential front-runner in the conference to where we’re going to have to really grind it out every night now.” Calhoun still has one of the WIVC’s best offensive threats with 6-8 Ben Eberlin in the post. Brody Caselton is back as a starter and Kaden Baalman, Chase Caselton and Bryce Eilerman are delivering in more significant roles in Calhoun’s 3-0 start. But navigating through defensive pressure to run offense, a burden shouldered largely by Nelson, must now be tasked to another Warrior. First up will be 5-5 senior Zach Quiller. “He’s going to be thrust into his first-time role as the primary ballhander in a varsity game,” Graner said of Quiller. “Once we get into the conference slate, it’s going to be a learning experience for him, I’m sure.” Blog Tour, Giveaway & Review – Torn by S. Nelson. Eli Warner had his whole life mapped out. He planned on proposing to his girlfriend, earning his law degree, then living happily ever after with the woman of his dreams. But in the blink of an eye, his entire world crashed down around him when the love of his life abandoned him, leaving him with nothing but a note. Kalista Ellington made the best decision she could at the tender age of nineteen. Afraid and alone for the first time, she left the one person who meant the world to her, believing his future was better off without her in it. Little did she know, fate was ready and willing to step back in and throw them together, no matter how much either one of them resisted. When Kalista finally returns home after fourteen years, can Eli find it in his heart to forgive her, not only for her desertion, but for the secret she kept which will change both of their lives forever? “S. Nelson is a truly talented author. I recommend not only this book but everyone she has wrote. These stories will have you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. Contains Sexual situations intended for the mature audiences” Hurricane Readers Book Review. “S. Nelson nails it in this new book! This is a definite page turner and don’t forget those tissues you’re going to need them!” Goodreads Reviewer. “Great story line, and secondary characters. Looking forward to reading a lot more from S. Nelson in the future. ” – Goodreads Reviewer. My heart beat faster the second the barrier between us was no more. I kept my head down, glancing at his shiny, black dress shoes, hoping and praying he would simply walk away without saying a word. But I knew the thought was ridiculous, betting Eli had waited years to finally confront me for what I’d done to him. I had never wished for my mother more than I did right then. I would have sent her to the door as a diversionary tactic, but then that wouldn’t have worked because she’d been telling me for years I needed to tell Eli the truth. All of it. No way in hell would she have allowed me to turn him away when he was standing on our doorstep. The air between us had become stagnant, my eyes still focusing on the ground below. I needed a few more precious seconds before I faced my past. “Look at me,” he growled. I guess my time’s up. Recognizing I deserved every bit of his rage, I slowly lifted my eyes until they met his. Instead of panic and fear, though, I was bombarded with a rush of memories of the two of us together all those years ago. The man standing before me was not the same guy I’d chosen to leave behind back then. Eli was obviously older, the years definitely agreeing with him. If it was even possible, he was more breathtaking than he was in his youth. Sexy scruff hid his strong jaw, all the while highlighting his full and tempting lips. It certainly wasn’t the time to become enthralled with his looks but I found I couldn’t help myself, my body reacting to him as it always did. He was broader than I remembered—hell, he even looked taller. From the expensive suit he wore and the way his hair was styled in that perfect coif, mixed with a hint of messiness, it was apparent he had done very well for himself financially. Never mind the hunk of steel he drove here in which probably cost more than my mother’s house. My lustful thoughts kept me frozen in the entryway, his eyes mirroring my own as they raked over me from head to toe. Silence continued to stretch between us as I tried to decide how to handle our upcoming conversation. He was clearly pissed at me, hated me even. And I didn’t blame him. Not at all.

Nelson’s Column among 78 ‘racist’ statues protesters want torn down after Black Lives Matter rallies. NELSON's Column is the latest target of anti-racism campaigners who want it torn down over links to the slave trade. The Royal Navy hero is included in a hit-list of 78 statues on a "topple the racists" website listing memorials across the UK that activists say "celebrate slavery and racism". Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates. Classic comedies have also been censored while presenters Ant and Dec yesterday apologised for blacking up on telly. As the cultural revolution gained pace, episodes of Bo’ Selecta! and Little Britain were removed from streaming services because they feature blackface characters. BBC comedies Only Fools and Horses and Fawlty Towers are in the spotlight over their use of language and jokes which could be considered racist. And 1939 Oscar-winning film Gone with the Wind has been removed from US streaming service HBO Max amid claims of racism. The calls come after a statue of Edward Colston was toppled and thrown into the River Avon by Black Lives Matters (BLM) protesters in Brisol. And a statue of slave owner Robert Milligan was removed from London's Docklands on Tuesday evening. Nelson’s column was erected in 1840 in honour of Horatio Nelson, one of the most famous naval officers in history. Towering 170ft high, it's topped with a statue of Lord Nelson, in memorial to the British Navy's inspirational leader. The Battle of Trafalgar, in which he bravely led his British fleet to victory against a combined French and Spanish fleet in 1805, was also the hero's last. However, BLM wants the column removed as Nelson was fiercely opposed to the abolition of the slave trade. He supported prominent slavers, and tried to prevent the abolitionist William Wilberforce - who he dubbed 'damnable' - from ending Britain's involvement in the slave trade. On the Topple the Racists website, a BLM spokesperson said while "history is complicated" it was "important to shine a light on the continued adoration of colonial icons and symbols". Among its targets are memorials to Sir Robert Peel - seen as the father of modern policing after he founded the Met in London in the 19th century, in Birmingham, Tamworth, Bradford and Leeds. The group is also offended by a statue of Thomas Guy outside the London hospital he founded and is named after him, because he made his fortune from a company that sold slaves. Topple the Racists' website is the brainchild of the Stop Trump Coalition which protested against the US president's controversial visit to the UK. Its push comes as a government minister has said there should be no statues of slave traders in modern Britain in response to protesters' "hit list". In a highly significant intervention, business minister Nadhim Zahawi said statues should be removed after a memorial of slaver Edward Colston was dragged down in protests in Bristol. Mr Zahawi told Sky News: “My opinion is any slave trader should not have a statue. "But I wouldn't be breaking the law to take statues down, it should be done through our democratic process. "This country is a democracy, a proud democracy and it should be up to local people to decide what they want to do with that statue and any other statue." "If the majority of people decide that we want the statues down, then they should be taken down." Mr Zahawi suggested statues of slavers should be "put in a museum so we can learn more about the men and women who behaved in all sorts of ways, historically, that is not appropriate in the 21st century." “If we want to have a debate about statues, let’s have that debate and let’s elect politicians who stand on a platform saying we’ll take the statues down.” The tearing down of Colston's statue sparked a furious debate over which people get honoured with memorials in Britain, and a statue in London of 18th century slave trader Robert Milligan was taken down yesterday. The vice-chancellor of Oxford University has suggested Nelson Mandela would have firmly opposed attempts to "hide history". Prof Louise Richardson said the late South African president would have stood against the Rhodes Must Fall campaign. Tearing down the statue would amount to a "refusal to acknowledge our past", she said. She added: "Hiding our history is not the route to enlightenment." The Topple the Racists group said: "We believe these statues and other memorials to slave-owners and colonialists need to be removed so that Britain can finally face the truth about its past – and how it shapes our present." They said they were inspired to start the map by the actions of the protesters in Bristol. "Statues are exercises of public adoration. And Edward Colston made his fortune in the slave trade. "He was part of a system of mass murder, torture and human suffering. "We must learn from, not venerate, this terrible chapter in British colonial history." The list of statues and street names range from statues of Christopher Columbus in Belgravia, London, the famed explorer who colonised America to stained glass windows in Cambridge and street names in Croydon. The news comes after London Mayor Sadiq Khan demanded statues and plaques be removed and street names in London changed if they commemorate slave owners. Mr Khan told Sky News yesterday: "We've got to realise that our public realm statues, squares, street names don't accurately reflect our values, or London, in 2020." But he added: "I don't condone at all any attacks on our police, any disorder or criminal damages." Meanwhile, it has been announced 130 Labour councils across England and Wales will begin reviewing monuments and statues in their towns and cities. It means dozens more monuments could be removed. A statement posted on Twitter said: "LGA Labour have consulted with all Labour council leaders, and there is overwhelming agreement from all Labour councils that they will listen to and work with their local communities to review the appropriateness of local monuments and statues on public land and council property." 'APPROPRIATE MONUMENTS' And in Scotland, Adam McVey, leader of Edinburgh city council, told BBC Radio Scotland he would feel “absolutely no sense of loss” if the statue of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville responsible for delaying the abolition of the slave trade by 15 years, was removed from the 150ft Melville Monument. Yesterday a statue of Robert Milligan - thought to have owned some 500 slaves - was removed from the West India Quay in east London following a petition from a Labour MP. Milligan was the driving force behind the building of the West India Docks in London. He also traded slaves in Jamaica. Reports say the statue's removal was met with cheers and applause from onlookers. Milligan's statue had stood outside the Museum of the Docklands near the West India Quay he helped create near Canary Wharf. London Mayor Sadiq Khan added the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm would work to introduce statues and memorials which "better reflect London" including the inclusion of more black, disabled and LGBTQ+ people. Some of statues that could be part of a cull are slave traders and owners William Beckford, John Cass and Thomas Guy. Former Lord Mayor of London William Beckford, who has a statue inside London's Guildhall, is believed to have owned around 3,000 slaves in plantations in Jamaica. Sir John Cass was a philanthropist and a slaver, who was a member of the Royal African Company's Court of Assistance for three years in the 1700s. The foundation set up in memory of him provides support to schools and universities in London - including the Cass Business school. Thomas Guy, who one King's College London's campuses is named after, made his fortune off of investing in the slave trade. Yesterday, people were spotted trying to fish the statue of Colston out of the Bristol harbour as conflict emerged over how the protesters have behaved and whether statues should be removed.. Senior police chief Andy Bennet, who led the Avon and Somerset police operation in Bristol during the protests, said having officers guard the statue would have led to further violence and vandalism in the city. He said Bristol should be "proud" of the way the city handled the protests. He told the Bristol Post : “No one got hurt and we had no arrests in the whole protest. That is 10,000 passionate people — Bristol should be proud of itself.” Rhodes was a 19th century mining magnate and imperialist who helped Victorian Britain colonise much of Southern Africa. A scholarship in his name at Oxford was set up to help non-Brits study there. Beneficiaries include Bill Clinton and three former Australian PMs. The foundation set up in memory of him provides support to schools and universities in London - including the Cass Business school. Mr Khan said the recommendations from the new commission would probably be that some statues would have to be pulled down. He clarified: "I suspect the commission may come back and say it's not appropriate to be memorialising, to be celebrating these people. "It's a discussion we should have and it's really important to bring in diverse voices, we can imagine - there are statues of people who were involved in the Royal African Company in London. "There are statues of plantation owners and their contribution is solely the money they made through plantations." But Mr Khan said not all statues would be included in the review - such as that of famed former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, whose memorial was defaced by protester who wrote he "was a racist" over the weekend. The London Mayor said people needed to learn about famous figures, such as Churchill, Gandhi and Malcolm X, "warts and all" and that "nobody was perfect." The Rhodes Must Fall Oxford campaign group has called for the image of the mining magnate and empire builder to be removed from Oriel College, arguing the university has "failed to address its institutional racism".
