DAVIDSON, N.C. — The Davidson men's tennis team will honor their late former head coach Jeff Frank with the playing of the second annual Jeff Frank Invitational this weekend, Oct. 1-2, at the Covington Tennis Courts on the campus of Davidson College.
Joining Davidson at the Frank Invitational will be Charlotte, Campbell and Appalachian State with the first day of play starting on Friday, Oct. 1, at 2 p.m.
Frank was one of the most successful coaches in Davidson sports and the head coach for the men's tennis program for 34 years. The school's all-time winningest coach in any sport, Frank concluded his coaching career with a 541-319-1 record. His Wildcat teams posted winning records in 29 of his 33 seasons, and he led the 'Cats to at least 10 victories each year.
The legendary coach was a 1966 graduate of Davidson and a four-year member of the tennis squad, while breaking into the ranks of coaching by coaching the Wildcat freshman team.
The invitational will be a flighted individual format with eight singles flights and four doubles flights.
In addition to plenty of tennis being played for the two days, Friday evening from 4 to 6 p.m., the Wildcats will showcase a Cornhole Tournament, with the winners getting men's tennis t-shirts. For more information about signing up to participate in the Cornhole Tournament, please contact head coach Ricky Gonzalez at 704-894-2966 or rigonzalez@davidson.edu. Space is limited, so sign up early.
