Sharon junior Sava Kassev and sophomore Isaac Chen have been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for April 29 through May 5. They are the 31st and 32nd players chosen as Player of the Week for the 2023-24 school year and fifth and sixth in the spring season.
Kassev and Chen are the first doubles pairing for the Eagles and went unbeaten this week, helping Sharon secure four wins, including a pair of impressive non-league victories over Martha’s Vineyard and Bishop Feehan, to remain perfect on the season. They teamed up for three wins together, with Kassev adding a win at singles and Chen earning a fourth win when partnered with Joel Zwicker. On the season, the duo is 10-0 entering Monday’s action.
The busy week started with a trip to undefeated Martha’s Vinyard (third in the Div. 3 power rankings). The Eagles showed no effects from the long travel time, pulling out a hard-fought 4-1 win. Kassev and Chen impressed in a 6-2, 7-5 win at first doubles. Sharon returned home the following day to face Kelley-Rex leader Attleboro and again pulled out a 4-1 victory. Kassev didn’t drop a game in a 6-0, 6-0 win at third singles and Chen, paired with Zwicker, was able to come from behind and take a 4-6, 6-4, 10-6 tiebreaker win at first doubles. In the third match in as many days, Kassev and Chen were paired up at first double and won 6-2, 6-1 as the Eagles swept Stoughton. On Saturday, Sharon hosted Feehan (currently No. 11 in the D1 rankings) and swept the Shamrocks. Kassev and Chen were dominant in a 6-0, 6-2 victory that improved the Eagles to 11-0 on the season.
