Irish Hoops Recruit Injured In Plane Crash
This is a sad story. And, it's also a story you couldn't make up -- if you tried.
A plane crashed last night in northern Michigan -- killing Dr. Stephen Hatch and his wife Kim. Dr. Hatch's son Austin -- a 6' - 6" basketball star who committed to Michigan over Notre Dame this past week -- was critically injured in the crash.
Here's the part of the story you just can't make up. Eight years ago, Dr. Stephen Hatch was also flying a plane that crashed -- this crash killed his first wife Julie, daughter Lindsay and son Ian. Dr. Hatch and Austin survived that crash.
Incredible.
Please say a prayer today for Austin.
