Keith Groller Snags Dieruff Alumni Award

I was delighted to see Morning Call sportswriter extraordinaire, Keith Groller, recognized by Dieruff High School as one of its Honored Alumni at their commencement ceremony this past weekend. 

Over the years, I've watched him in action at numerous basketball games, including the summer games at Cedar Beach. What really impresses me is the interest he takes in the student athletes. Much like Toomey Anderson, the Dean of Awesome, Keith makes these kids feel good about themselves. He conducts after game interviews which he loads on Twitter. During games, it is actually Keith who often shoots the money shot. 

The Lehigh Valley is blessed with several good sportswriters. I like Keith best because of his emphasis on high school sports. 

I only wish he could clone himself and cover all the games. 

I'd post a pic of him but I'd probably be in violation of about a million copyright laws.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
