MacArthur High School Tennis Player Honored With Sportsmanship Award

LEVITTOWN, NY — David Silberger, a student at General Douglas MacArthur High School, was awarded the United States Tennis Association Good Sportsmanship Award for his performance on and off the court in tennis.

The USTA Good Sportsmanship Award is given to a high school player each year for showing sportsmanship with fellow players. Silberger is the team’s top singles player and helped out with coaching and building up his teammates.

Silberger always played and conducted himself within the rules of the sport, coach Philip Alonge said, especially when he conceded a lost match after agreeing to replay a point.
