“Molly Mack exemplifies what it means to be a Wildcat. Molly is not only one of the best soccer players in the state, but also one of the kindest. Mack’s smile is larger than life. Her character is shown on and off the field, as she is the heart and soul of the women’s soccer team (Whippany Park). As captain, Molly leads by example with her play on the field. His leadership and commitment to his teammates is unmatched. Molly is more than just an athlete, she is a wonderful and kind person. We ask everyone to keep Molly, her mom, dad, siblings, the wp women’s soccer team and her friends in your thoughts as we wish her a speedy and full recovery. #wearemollymackstrong”
