Heritage Linebacker Offered by ARMY!

[linkburrows]

Michael Cermak, a Heritage High School Linebacker, was invited to play football and attend West Point yesterday. Not only did Forbes magazine rate West Point the number 1 academic school in the country it provides Michael with an opportunity to play Division 1 football. This kid has worked so hard for this......the Heritage community is so very proud of what he has accomplished. Not many people have heard of this young man but he is truly an amazing athlete. He has not made a commitment yet as he and his family discuss this very important decision.

Congratulations to Michael. Anyone who has watched either Region 2 5A or this year's Dist 4 AAA knows this young man is one of the best defensive players in the area.

Congratulations Michael . I think he has been playing varsity since he was 6. He is an excellent football player and leader. I hear he is a great kid even when nobody is looking, and that is why he would make an outstanding officer.

Congratulations Mike! If you accept the Army's offer, here are a couple of things to learn quickly:

 

1. The term HOOHA! It is the Army's universal answer to all questions and situations. For example, "do you want to eat? HOOHA. Did you sleep well last night? HOOHA. Are you going to beat Navy? HOOHA.

 

2. The meaning of the term SECURE is dependant upon the branch of service. For example, if you tell the Army, the Marines, and the Air Force to secure the same building the following outcomes will occur:

 

Army: They will rapidly clear the area of operations of enemy, capture all building occupants and set up 360 security.

Marines: They will kill all enemy in the area of operations, kill all in the building, and then destroy the building.

Air Force: We will take a five-year lease with two one-year options and order an expresso machine for each floor.

 

Good luck Mike! Job well done! HOOHA

This is really an honor. If he accepts It will be the biggest challege of his life & it will all be worth it.

Linkburrow - you evidentially don't have your PM box set up, so I can't send you this privately.

 

Are you related to Cermak? If so, please send me a PM. My son graduated from West Point in May, and I would be more than happy to answer any questions that any of the family has about The Academy and about being the parent of a Cadet. Attending one of the service academies is not anything like attending a civilian college or university, and being a parent of a Cadet/Midshipman is very different, too. If you guys have any questions, please let me know and my wife and I would be happy to help in any way we can.

From a former Alum, HTV speaks the truth!

 

What a great win against Vandy..

Congratulations! Regardless of whether he accepts the offer or not, it is a great honor to be offered by any of the service academy's and speaks highly of the young man's character, not to mention his athletic ability. Good job mom,dad,coaches, teachers & others involved in this young man's development!

Good luck with the decision, its great to see kids from Blount Co. schools getting such a great chance. I hope he makes the best decision for himself.

Support all the services, and Im glad he will not be playing for HHS next year, he is tough.

i believe blount county has very good football players year in year out, so that being said the best player in the county should get a d1 offer no matter what his team does, michael cermak is the best this year. this shouldnt be a suprize to anyone who knows mike or has seen him play, very well deserved
