Racine County Executive Jonathan Delagrave unexpectedly dies Friday morning
FOOTBALL
RACINE — Quarterback Andre Locke Jr. ended up with nothing more than another 75-mile drive back to his Chicago area home.
Tight end Nick Nelson ended up with a strained right calf that kept in him in street clothes during the Racine Raiders’ weekly Wednesday practice at Horlick Field.
Both were among those who came up empty when the Raiders’ Gridiron Developmental Football League game against the Flag City Phantoms of Ohio ended up getting cancelled last Saturday night because of thunderstorms.
Because the Phantoms were facing a six-plus hour charter trip covering 350 miles back to Findlay, Ohio, that night, it was decided to end the game rather than wait out the lightning.
That meant the game, which the Raiders were leading 21-13 at halftime, was ruled a no contest and didn’t count toward either team’s record. The GDFL subsequently allowed the Raiders game against the Michigan Bills on May 18 to count as a league game, giving the Raiders eight league-qualifying games.

The Raiders will try again Saturday when they make a 325-mile bus ride to Toledo for a 5 p.m. game against the Glass City Tigers. Raiders coach Wilbert Kennedy will again be trying for his 100th career victory that night.
“We were in constant contact with the officials,” said Raiders president Matt Nelson, who is Nick’s father. “As a matter of fact, we were in the official’s room — Wilbert, myself and Geoff (Schick, the Raiders’ offensive coordinator).
“They had a lightning monitor with them, so every time it went off, they had to re-set the clock to 30 minutes. We did that several times. We got with the other team and they said they’d be able to stick around until 10 o’clock. It if cleared up by 10 o’clock, they’d be able to resume play and we agreed with the officials that if the game resumed before 10 o’clock, we’d have a running clock in the second half to get them back on the way to Ohio as soon as possible.
“But then we got another lightning strike. We had a lot of stuff coming through Janesville (toward Racine) and we just figured that we wouldn’t be able to get it in.”
It’s been a challenging season for the defending national champion Raiders even though they are off to a 5-0 start. Rain has been common during games so far this season, which has played a role in diminished attendance.
“There hasn’t been a home game this year when it hasn’t rained,” Matt Nelson said. “I think most people make up their mind by 5 o’clock whether they’re going to come out or not. If it’s raining at 5 o’clock, they’re going to do something else for that night.”
The players don’t have that option. Take Locke, the Raiders’ 34-year-old quarterback who is 15-0 as Racine’s starter since joining the team prior to last season.
He was not able to make it to practice when it was shifted from Wednesday to Thursday because of Juneteenth last week. In accordance to Kennedy’s rule for players who miss practice, Locke sat out the first half last Saturday with the expectation of entering the game in the third quarter.
That never happened.
“For the first time in 15 years, I didn’t start the game,” Locke said. “The refs called the game at halftime when I was about to go in. I didn’t get the chance to help my team put more points on the board to separate us from the rest of the nation.”
Locke long ago understood that this kind of thing comes with the territory. He’s determined to pile up more miles on his car so he can eventually help Kennedy to 138 career victories, which would allow Kennedy to surpass Bob Milkie as the organization’s all-time winningest coach.
“He’s a leader of men,” Locke said when asked why he is so devoted to Kennedy. “Once a week, we have conversations and he shows me ways to lead men.”
In Nick Nelson’s case, he’s not going to allow that strained calf to keep him out of this Saturday’s game, when the Raiders try to extend their winning streak to 21 games. For the 2018 Horlick High School graduate, duty calls.
And he certainly would like to rinse away the sour taste of not being able to complete last Saturday.
“We spend the whole day getting mentally prepared and getting everything situated for the game,” Nick Nelson said. “We’re lined up and getting ready for the second half and you just want to play so it will be a complete game, but they called it off.
“It’s a bummer. It’s a letdown. We come out here to play ball and have fun with our brothers out on the field and do what we love to do. The majority of us aren’t going anywhere with this. It’s just being able to do what we love to do.”
That’s why each of these guys keep coming back for more — no matter what gets in their way.
