The 2026 Brother Martin Tennis Tournament took place on Friday, March 6, at the City Park Tennis Center. Amidst the competition, players enjoyed delicious food, cold drinks, and beautiful weather.
Brother Martin Tennis Coach, Lee MacAlester, directed the tournament, while DJ Pat Barbaro ’85 kept the crowd entertained. The Class of 1981 was back again, serving seafood paella, fish, crawfish bread, and snowballs! Guests also enjoyed a wide variety of food and dessert selections from our Food & Drink Sponsors, while The Ladies of the Shield served specialty drinks at the new, centrally located bar!
