Senior boys’ soccer goalkeeper Isaac Chambass is widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the area, but his path to this point was one filled with ups and downs according to LHS boys’ soccer coach Steve McCaughey.
During Isaac’s sophomore season Isaac began as the starter on the JV team but ended the season as the backup. However, that situation only fueled Isaac’s drive to succeed.
“This only seemed to motivate him to work harder over the offseason,” McCaughey said. “Isaac put in a lot of work with his goalkeeping coach and came back determined to compete for the starting varsity job as a junior. Not only did he earn the job, but he ended up starting every game and earning All-State recognition.”
“He continues to work hard at his craft, but this year he has taken on the added responsibility of being a captain,” McCaughey added. “He has done a great job communicating with the players in front of him and providing much needed leadership from between the posts.”
Isaac started playing soccer when he was five years old.
“My dad liked soccer so he signed me and my brother up to play,” Isaac said.
Isaac then figured out he liked preventing goals rather than saving them.
“I like saving shots from entering the goal because I’m a goalkeeper,” Isaac said.
Isaac said he has really enjoyed his time playing on the LHS soccer team.
“I like the team chemistry and the coaching staff,” Isaac said. “I learned that it’s going to take a lot of hard work to play at the next level.”
Isaac would like to continue playing soccer in college where he wants to earn a degree in computer science.
Here at LHS, Isaac’s favorite class was his sophomore ELA class with Mr. Oxford.
Outside of school, Isaac enjoys playing soccer, hanging out with friends and playing video games.
