Three St. Aloysius football players finished their high school careers by playing in the MAIS Class 3A/4A All-Star Game on Friday, Dec. 6.

Seniors Thompson Fortenberry, John Ellis Montgomery and Clark Hobson all played for the Blue team, which lost 49-21 to the White in the game played at Jackson Prep. Although they weren’t on the winning side of the scoreboard, all three players had some highlights.

Fortenberry played linebacker and finished with eight tackles and a fumble recovery. He also played fullback on offense, but did not have a rushing attempt or reception.

Hobson had one tackle and several quarterback hurries while playing at defensive tackle for much of the game.

Montgomery was the Blue team’s kicker. He made all three of his PAT attempts, as well as one solo tackle on a long kickoff return at the start of the second half.

The three players helped St. Al reach the second round of the Class 4A playoffs, which marked their first postseason victory since 2015.

Montgomery made four field goals, with a long of 45 yards, and 13 PATs this season.

Hobson played on both the offensive and defensive lines. He finished with 40 tackles.

Fortenberry has been a two-way starter for the Flashes for four years. He had 613 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior, while also leading the team with 94 tackles.

Fortenberry finished his high school career with 2,093 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.
