Billy Sample wrote a sympathy message

“I never met Keith, well not officially. I've never forgotten the only time I was concussed on the high school football field in 1972. It was a simple curl pattern behind the linebackers and in front of the safeties, but PH's linebackers were talented enough to take such deep drops that about the time the ball found me so did Keith. Teammate John Gaston recognized my woozy appearance and dragged me back to the huddle as if to say, 'you will not show any weakness on my watch. RIP, Billy Sample”
