Guess they're proud of Moriah in Glenn Heights Texas

So is it going to appropriately be 'Moriah Drive'?

And they call the wind...

Congrats to Moriah.

But I have to wonder if what she's accomplished is really so remarkable in the grand scheme of things. Surely there are teachers, volunteers, community leaders, first responders, etc who have done incredible work in their long lives. I'd hope they are getting recognized.

I did.

I hope that others in the community are similarly honored.

That is so cool. What a great article for an incredible basketball player, and an amazing young lady. She's accomplished so much in her young life. I'm really excited to see how her future unfolds!

You mean, you're hoping that message boards exist to celebrate educators and that several cable channels are dedicated to the profession?

Where did I criticize message boards?

It's a sleepy town of just under 12,000 people. Literally. Why is it necessary to question their honoring Moriah by somehow diminishing the recognition unless they also honor the "teachers, volunteers, community leaders, first responders, etc who have done incredible work in their long lives"?

It's like saying the team should not have been honored by being invited to the White House unless all the other "teachers, volunteers, etc" were also invited as well. Or that our team should not have been "honored" with a parade in Hartford unless the city acknowledged all the other great local humanitarians as well.

I'm not trying to argue with you, but it's odd that you would post such a thing in a fun thread about her tiny home town doing something so innocent (but cool) to honor her.

They call the drive Moriah!

i didn't say you criticized message boards. i was just supporting your wish, expressed on a sports message board, that society would celebrate educators etc as much as they celebrate athletic skill....
