I can confirm that it was Brock Combs who gave Sam his blue medal. After the game he had, that’s what he chose to do. Incredible.
After the game, Sam could be seen with a blue state championship medal around his neck. That is what he means to Memorial and others in the community.
The feeling is mutual: “That’s really what keeps him going.”
