Much of Sammy Cermack’s life has revolved around lacrosse.
Cermack, a John Hopkins University product that played a lead role in Ridgewood’s first-ever Tournament of Champions title six years ago, was named The Star-Ledger/NJ.com Player of the Year in 2010 and finished her high school career as one of the most productive players in state history.
After etching her name in the history books back then – when Ridgewood became the first team other than Moorestown to win a ToC title – Cermack scripted another chapter in her storied career two weeks ago, when she was selected by the Philadelphia Force in the inaugural draft of the United Women’s Lacrosse League.
The league, which will begin its expansion season in late May, is comprised of four teams – the Philadelphia Force, Long Island Sound, Baltimore Ride, and Boston Storm. Cermack was selected 39th overall.
She’s a “product” , Really?
Is that what this is all about, being a commodity?
Good lord.
