The Section XI Tennis Coaches Association recently hosted the Coach Bob Davis Autism Tournament, bringing together student-athletes from across Long Island for a meaningful day of competition and community support.

The event, which honors the legacy of Coach Bob Davis, continues to highlight the power of athletics as a platform for awareness, inclusion, and compassion. Players competed with energy and sportsmanship while also embracing the tournament’s larger mission of supporting autism awareness.

Special recognition goes to Coach Sussin of Ward Melville High School and Coach Selaggio of Bayport-Blue Point High School, whose leadership and organization helped make the day a success. Their efforts ensured a well-run event that provided a memorable experience for all participants.

From competitive matches to moments of unity, the tournament once again demonstrated how high school athletics can bring people together for a greater cause, leaving a lasting impact both on and off the court.
