MVP 2008

David Sanchez was named LMT’s Coach of the Year.

Offense
QB: Tony Salas (United So.) – Salas was a breakout player for the Longhorns, assuming the starting role fast and early during the offseason.
In his first year on varsity, Salas completed 208 of 339 passes (61.4%) for 2,688 yards and 26 touchdowns; he threw just 8 interceptions.

WR: Rick Velasquez (United Jr.)- The Explosive, athletic, phenomenon caught 39 passes for 685 yards and 11 touchdowns. His improbable catches and gravity-defying leaps made him a threat wherever he was on the field.
WR: Jorge Luis Ramirez (United Sr.)- Ramirez caught 41 passes for 618 yards and 5 touchdowns and was a consistent, steady target for Salas all season long.

DL: Kevin Montalvo (United Sr.)- Montalvo was the lone returning starter from last year’s United Team, but his leadership and presence kept the O-line as a strength for the Longhorns.

Defense
DL – Aric Hagy (United Sr.) – Hagy compiled 33 total tackles and 1 sack despite missing a few games due to injury. His strength and height along with the line enabled the Longhorns linebackers and secondary players to make plays.

DL- Humberto Salas ( United Sr.) – Salas was a perfect complement to Hagy as a pass-rusher. He sacked opposing quarterbacks 4 times and recovered 2 fumbles.

LB – Corbin King (United Sr.) – King was proficient for the Longhorns in every way. He totaled 95 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, and recovered 4 fumbles as the leader of United’s 3-5-3 defense.

DB- Josh Garcia (United Jr.) – LMT’s runner-up for Defensive Player of the year, the speedy Garcia compiled 95 tackles, 5 interceptions, and recovered 2 fumbles for the Longhorns.
