Over the last 3 years, Isaiah Langham ’25 has been a crucial member of the Belmont Hill basketball team. After joining the team as a freshman, Isaiah quickly ascended into a critical leadership role. He became captain of the squad during his junior year and has high hopes for this upcoming season. Despite his ability to lead by example throughout his time at Belmont Hill, Isaiah said that one thing he wants to improve off the court for this upcoming season is to be more of a vocal leader in the locker room.
Throughout his time at Belmont Hill, Isaiah has been an elite scorer. Last January, in a game against Deerfield Academy, Isaiah surpassed 1,000 career points at Belmont Hill and hopes to grow it more this year. Even with this impressive accomplishment, Isaiah is not satisfied. When asked about his biggest personal goal for the season, Isaiah responded, “My biggest goal is getting Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year.” While this is an ambitious goal, it is well within his reach.
Throughout his stellar play these last 3 seasons, Isaiah secured an offer from Brown and officially committed this September. When asked about his commitment, he stated, “I want to come in and make an impact on and off the court. At Brown I know I can maximize myself athletically and in the classroom, so just trying new things and building new relationships is something I aspire to do.” But before he leaves for Brown, Isaiah wants to leave a final impact at Belmont Hill. His ultimate goal of his senior season is to make a deep NEPSAC Class A playoff run after falling short last year. He believes the team has the talent and the drive for it, but it will be challenging in a competitive division.
Isaiah has accomplished so much in his Belmont Hill basketball career, and we can’t wait to see what he will do this year. With an impressive high school career and an elite work ethic, Isaiah’s potential is limitless. We wish him the best at Brown next year.
