M

arc Sable is the 2016 Jewish
News Male High School
Athlete of the Year and
one of the nine inaugural winners of
Dr. Steven and Evelyn Rosen Stars of
Tomorrow scholarships presented by the
Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation.
He earned both prestigious awards.
The 2016 Cranbrook-Kingswood High
School graduate was a star on the tennis
court and in the classroom and a com-
munity service leader while he was a
high school student.
Sable couldn’t make
it to the foundation’s
Michigan Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame
induction dinner
Sept. 27 at the Jewish
Community Center
in West Bloomfield to
Marc Sable
be honored for both
awards because he
was busy in Boston.
He’s a freshman tennis player at
Boston University who is studying
finance in the school’s Questrom School
of Business.
Sable is happy in Beantown.
“To be able to play Division I tennis at
such a highly regarded academic institu-
tion is fantastic,” he said. “Plus, I love the
location of the university. The campus is
contained within the city, but there are
endless business networking opportuni-
ties nearby.”
Sable got off to a good start in his col-
legiate tennis career, winning five of six
singles matches for the Terriers. He went
4-1 at the UConn Invitational in mid-
September and won the B Flight consola-
tion bracket title.
He was a four-year tennis player and
two-year team captain at Cranbrook-
Kingswood who helped the Cranes
win a Michigan High School Athletic
Association state championship in 2015.
Among his individual tennis honors
were First Team All-State and Oakland
County Player of the Year.
A member of the Cranbrook-
Kingswood Dean’s List for four years, he
graduated with a weighted grade-point
average that topped 4.0.
Sable was president of the Gold Key
Society, one of the Bloomfield Hills high
school’s largest extra-curricular clubs.

Marc Sable keeps his eyes on the ball
before hitting a backhand shot for
Cranbrook-Kingswood.

Members serve as school ambassadors
who help current and prospective stu-
dents.
“Being the team captain for tennis and
leading the Gold Key club really shaped
my leadership skills,” he said.
Those skills came in handy when he
organized summer tennis clinics for
underprivileged youth for three years at
Clark Park in Detroit.
“The clinics were a great experience
for me,” he said. “They made me appre-
ciate what I have and at the same time I
enjoyed connecting with the kids. To see
the smiles on their faces was gratifying.”
Sable also organized tennis tourna-
ments benefiting pancreatic cancer
research and the American Red Cross.
His paternal grandfather and two aunts
died from pancreatic cancer.
He said he was honored to win the
Athlete of the Year award and Rosen
Stars of Tomorrow scholarship, which
assists Jewish high school seniors and
college medical students who have out-
standing athletic and academic achieve-
ments. Involvement in extra-curricular
activities and community service also are
considered.
“I appreciate being recognized for my
hard work,” Sable said. “But I couldn’t
have done all I did in high school with-
out the support of my family. They
helped me so much.”
His parents are Todd and Louise
Sable, and he has a sister Emma, 15, a
sophomore tennis player at Cranbrook-
Kingswood. The family lives in
Bloomfield Hills.
Dr. Steven Rosen, who died April 1,
was inducted into the Michigan Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. A track star
in high school and at the University of
Michigan, he was a starter for the U.S.
men’s basketball team in the 35-and-over
division at the Maccabiah Games in
Israel in 1993.
He graduated from the Wayne State
University Medical School and practiced
radiology from 1978-2006.
