Nate Chhim's career at Bishop Connolly High School was far from ordinary. He entered Cougar land as an eighth grader and, as part of the school's LEAP Program, crammed five grades of academics into four years. He will graduate this weekend. A very big part of Bishop Connolly's boys' soccer renaissance, Chhim is the program's career and single-season record holder for goals scored. He is taking his brains and athleticism to UMass Dartmouth where he was recruited to play soccer. Chhim also plays tennis at Connolly. Thoughtful and well spoken, Chhim recently agreed to play our Q&A game. Read his answers in print and online and don't miss our Nate Chhim Q&A video with the online version of Sports Spotlight. (We'd be remiss if we didn't mention Nate is the nephew of Connolly's popular social sciences teacher and former Durfee basketball player, Michael Vieira.
