· Oliver Buchanan will be going back to high school for a few months for a few last credits he didn't finish before graduation. Oliver got surgery two weeks ago. His ACL was torn, so they took a graph of a tendon in his shin and some bone graphs and drilled a hole in the shin bone and femur to re-construct the ACL. He will be out for 5 months. Before his knee surgery, Oliver was an extra on a Showtime movie about boxing. He walked in the background and was in a group with a lot of people, but he got paid pretty good. Get better Oliver.
