Will Chambers working his way to top
(February 8, 2010) An interest that began in childhood has led former Fort Thomas resident Will Chambers on a journey to becoming a national sportscaster.

Chambers, a 1997 Highlands High School graduate, said he was a very young child when his love for play-by-play sports announcing started.

"I used to sit at the foot of my father's desk while he was working and mute the TV while a game was on do the commentary while I was very little," Chambers said. "I've never considered another way of life."

In high school, Chambers developed a relationship with football coach Dale Mueller, who is still in his life.

"Dale is a winner and certainly instilled a desire to be great," Chambers said.

Growing up, Chambers said he was also influenced by another local sportscaster, Fort Thomas resident Cris Collinsworth.

"All my life I've been trying to learn this business, and I have a certain belief on how and who does it the right way," Chambers said. "Cris is and has been one of the best analysts in all of sports."

Chambers currently lives in Covington, is scheduled to graduate from Northern Kentucky University in May. He works as a server at Bouquet Restaurant and Wine Bar and as a sportscaster at Georgetown College.

"This is my fourth year with Georgetown, the biggest and best opportunity I've ever been afforded," Chambers said.

In 2009, the Sportscasters Talent Agency of America recognized Chambers as one of the Top 20 Collegiate Sports Broadcasters in the country.

Chambers said his ultimate goal is calling games for national audiences and doing championship games at the highest level including Super Bowls, World Series and Final Fours.

"What we do is frame moments," Chambers said. "The bigger the stage, the bigger the moment, and I just want to be a part of them."
