The Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame introduced its Class of 2020 Tuesday, and it includes the Nets’ coach, a World Cup winner and two high school athletes whose deaths have left an impact on the Island and beyond.

Kenny Atkinson, a Northport native, has been coaching the Nets since 2016. Allie Long, also of Northport, was on the U.S. women’s soccer team that won the World Cup in 2019.

Northport’s Louis J. Acompora died in 2000 from a blow to his chest. He was playing in his first high school game. Following the 14-year-old’s death, the Louis J. Acompora Memorial has work to spread awareness about the importance of owning automated external defibrillators.
