Moody’s Homecoming with Curry | Little Rock News

Moses Moody brought his Motivate One Foundation Summer Series back to Little Rock, rallying hometown pride and big-name support when Stephen Curry joined him on short notice — a testament to the respect Curry has for Moody’s roots. Over four days, the event delivered groceries to 3,000 families, a charity golf tournament, a major convention center showcase, and a youth basketball camp. But the real heart was the youth summit, teaching entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and career exploration. Curry, already familiar with Moody’s work through players like Draymond Green and Rich Paul, called the invitation an easy “yes,” eager to support Moody’s deep ties to the city. Moody, overwhelmed by the love and recognition — including a local citation and special Little Rock Nine medallions — felt the full weight of homecoming. Curry even learned the Razorback chant from Isaiah Joe backstage. A deeply personal moment unfolded when Moody’s parents thanked Curry for his friendship, leaving Curry visibly moved. Moody’s mom revealed how much better Curry is in person than anyone imagines. For Moody, the weekend was everything he dreamed of — a powerful reminder that seeing a role model like Curry in his hometown could have changed his own life.

Water Ban Hits Centerton Amid Heat | Little Rock News

Centerton Utilities just slapped a temporary ban on all outdoor watering — lawns, gardens, you name it — because water demand is through the roof and they need to reserve it for drinking, cooking, and firefighting. The heat isn’t helping either: temps are forecasted to hit 100 degrees and stay there for the whole week. This ban covers Centerton and parts of Bentonville, Gravette, and Bella Vista, and follows a recent major water line break near Pea Ridge that’s since been fixed — but officials are still urging extreme conservation to avoid overloading the system. They’ll lift the ban as soon as reservoir levels stabilize. It’s a community ask: cut back now to keep the taps running for what really matters.
