Is this the man who was on the sidelines at the Thomasville games. If it was he was on the sidelines when I played in the early 70’s.
Sam was class of 1969 and was one heckuva basketball player. Perfected the Earl the Pearl spin when most people were trying to dribble behind their backs without dribbling off their feet.
Sam has always been a diehard Bulldog, watching practices for years. Heart of gold and a friend without reservation.
When I woke up in Forsyth a few years ago after sleeping for a few weeks, one of the first people to just show up at my hospital room door was Sam. Most people kept up with that ordeal through emails to my family or Facebook, but Sam just showed up. Just wanting to see if there was anything he could do.
Prayer may bring Sam back. Or it may help ease his journey. But he needs ours right now. He’s sure got mine.
