The best comeback award goes to...

Quarterback Arvell Nelson suffered two cracked ribs and a collapsed lung during Glenville's 19-7 nonleague victory over Buchtel during Week 4 last season. Nelson missed the next four games before leading the Tarblooders in their playoff run. Nelson was not wearing a flack jacket against Buchtel.

"We didn't have [one] that fit me," Nelson said. "But I got fitted for one after that game, and I wear it all the time now."

Too legit to quit
Glenville senior QB hopingto toss bitter loss for sweet win

It's a pass he would like to have back, but Glen ville senior quarterback Arvell Nelson hasn't dwelled on the errant throw.

"I thought about [the pass] for about a week after the game because as a quarterback, I have to have a short memory," Nelson said.

The Tarblooders led host Warren Harding, 26-24, with 1:19 left last year in a Week 2 game when Mario Manningham stepped in front of Nelson's pass, which was intended for receiver Daven Jones. Manningham, now a University of Michigan freshman, raced 50 yards for a touchdown and a 30-26 win. The victory gave Harding its 30th consecutive home win and handed Glenville its lone regular-season loss.

"I called the play and I'd do it again, because I still think it was the right thing to do," Tarblooders coach Ted Ginn Sr. said. "It was third-and-10, and we had beaten [Harding] on third-and-long all game. It was just a case of inexperience on Arvell's part. He panicked and threw the ball."

Nelson's job was to read the cornerback, and if Manningham stayed in, Nelson was to throw a hitch pass. If Manningham followed Jones, the plan was a fade pass over the top.

"[Manningham] snuck up when I was under center and I never looked back up to see where he was at," Nelson said. "I made a bad read, and I can live with it."

The pick capped a career game for Manningham, who had first-half touchdown receptions of 50 and 66 yards to finish with seven catches for 255 yards.

Nelson will receive a shot at redemption when Glenville again visits Harding.

"I believe Arvell feels he has something to prove because he feels he gave [Harding] the game," Ginn said.

But it's not about revenge, Nelson said.

"It's about coming out, playing hard, winning that game," he said. "It's about winning every game."

The 6-5, 175-pounder likes his team's chances.

"I've worked hard this off-season on learning to read defenses," Nelson said. "I'm getting the ball out quicker, my footwork is better in the pocket and I'm a better leader now."

Harding coach Thom McDaniels believes it.

"Their quarterback was a junior then and he's a lot more experienced, a lot smarter now," McDaniels said.

It did not take long for Tarblooder receiver Raymond Small to notice Nelson's improvement.

"In our first 7-on-7, we were clicking right away, like we had been playing together for 15 years," Small said. "Arvell sees the field now, not just the main receiver. And he's throwing bullets."
