The fallout from COVID-19 has touched every one of us. Our health, finances, routines and lifestyles have been compromised and only time will heal us.

I am specifically heartbroken for our high school students, especially our seniors. In many instances, their lessons, events, spring sports and, likely, proms and graduations, have been erased from the calendars. In the athletic departments, many seniors will not enjoy their final seasons in such spring sports as baseball and lacrosse.

R.J. Davis, though, is one senior who was lucky to salvage his last hurrah at Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains. He was named Mr. New York State Basketball for the past season by the Basketball Coaches Association of New York. R.J. averaged 26.5 points, eight rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game in leading the Crusaders to an 18-9 record and the Archdiocese of New York championship. He shot 87 percent from the free-throw line, 51 percent from two-point range and 34 percent from the three-point arc.

R.J.’s coach praised the guard as a leader for the program throughout his four years at the school. This year, R.J. embraced his senior role and became more vocal for his teammates in practice, during games and even off the court.

R.J. was selected to play in the 43rd McDonald’s All-American game in Houston but, unfortunately, the contest was canceled due to the health care crisis. Let’s hope that R.J. can get his college career started on time this fall at the University of North Carolina.

Everyone, according to R.J.’s coach, knows about his on-the-court ability, but more people need to know that this young man is an all-around student-athlete. He holds a 3.8 GPA, volunteers in his community and embraces public speaking opportunities.

R.J. is driven, a hard worker and seeks success. I’m confident success will find him.

Good luck, R.J.!

While all the major professional and college sports leagues and associations have postponed game schedules and public events, the various leagues, associations, teams and players have not abandoned the countless staff members and arena employees who, so quickly, lost their major sources of income and family benefits. The sports world also has come to the rescue of medical and emergency personal who are on the front lines to battle the coronavirus.

In our corner of the world, the Yankees immediately initiated a program that supports its staff and vendor employees at the stadium. The Mets, too, have joined with Major League Baseball to address income shortfalls and family health concerns during the crises.

On the gridiron, the Giants are funding a program at the Meadowlands YMCA that provides free childcare for emergency response personnel for 10 weeks. The YMCA has continued to operate its daycare program in consultation with medical personnel for the children of these essential workers. The funding expanded the program to up to 42 children. The Jets are engaged by providing financial support for the COVID-19 Community Fund for low-income residents offered by the United Way of New York City.

The NBA, involving the Knicks and Nets, launched NBA Together, expecting to raise more than $50 million “to support people impacted by the coronavirus and community and healthcare organizations providing vital services around the world.” About $30 million has been pledged by teams and players. The program is supported by four pillars that focus on the latest global health and safety information, sharing guidelines and resources, working on mental and physical health, and keeping people socially connected. The league also is collaborating with fans, asking them to share stories, photos and videos focused on small acts of kindness.

All NHL teams, including our Rangers, Islanders and Devils, also are providing financial assistance for team staff members and arena workers.

With the suspension of all athletics, we certainly have a huge void in our social lives. As you can see, though, the sports world has not remained idle, joining forces with others (while maintaining social distance) to help people across the country and worldwide.

Let’s be patient and let’s support our family, friends and our communities when we can. Join me in looking forward to good days that certainly are within reach.
