Hopefully, Sam Raglin can enjoy the rest of his summer. After what he’s been through the last two months, that’s not much to ask, is it?
I was introduced to Raglin, who will be a senior at Harrah this year, in May when his family’s home was destroyed by the tornado. He still played at the state tournament.
For that info, go here.
But something just as scary happened to Raglin less than 10 days ago. While hiking, Raglin fell and stumbled down Elk Mountain.
He suffered some horrible injuries but managed to survive. Not just survive but almost act as if nothing even happened to him.
Act as if he did not have a fractured skull or bleeding in the brain, a broken pelvis and some punctured lungs – which were his worst injuries.
No, Raglin says he’s really doing quite fine now. His aunt sent me an e-mail a couple of days ago letting me know Sam is fine and resting right now.
Really an incredible story. Here is Matt Dinger’s piece from the incident…incredible.
