Senior Running Back Ryan Altman and Senior Defensive End Andrew Flores of the St. Mary’s Rams Football team have been selected to play in the 2022 Texas Private School All-Star Football Game this Saturday, December 17th, at 3:00 PM at San Marcos Academy.
“Both Ryan and Andrew are the type of players that lead by example,” Rams head coach Rick Cobia said.
“They work, they listen, they’re approachable and coachable and are great team players.
These two young men have represented St.
Mary’s with character and excellence.”
Altman finished his St. Mary’s Rams high school football career with 2,242 yards rushing and 43 touchdowns.
Altman was named 2022 TCAF 1st Team all-district running back, 2nd Team all-district defensive back and Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship 2nd Team all-state running back this year.
Last year, Altman was named 2021 2nd Team all-district running back and defensive back, and 2021 TCAF Academic all-state. Altman will be named 2022 Academic all-state later this year.
In the 2021 football season, Flores had only 12 tackles. After the 2021 season he committed himself to the weight room and had a tremendous spring and summer and elevated his abilities to play defensive end for the Rams.
Flores’ extra work led him to lead the Rams defense this year with 94 tackles. Coming into the 2022 season Flores made huge improvements in his physical strength and football knowledge helping him finish his St. Mary’s Rams high school career with 106 tackles.
Flores applied himself with dedication to making improvements and was awarded TCAF 1st Team all-district defensive end, Co-Defensive MVP, and 2nd Team alldistrict tight end. Flores was also named TCAF 2022 Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
Congratulations to these seniors for the work on the field and earning their chance to be play in the All-Star game.
