RYAN ALTMAN led Rivers to a pair of ISL titles and three straight NEPSAC Class B championships. He was last year's ISL MVP and DPOTY.
#FightOnPenn 🔴🔵🏀
Ryan Altman used to spend every Tuesday doing an activity with his grandmother. In 2015, he lost her to pancreatic cancer.
Ten years later, on another Tuesday, he continued to honor her the best way he knew how.
On another special night @ASFL_Shoot4Cure: https://t.co/45Wziiix3a
Stars from around New England competed in the A Shot For Life All-Star Games on Tuesday as they raised money for cancer research.
It was another night of meaningful basketball at Rivers.
“This game means everything to me.”

Nuggets in here:
- Ryan Altman honoring his grandmother
- Tess Baacke honoring her mother
- Quinn Costello's rapid rise - 13 offers heading into the spring and now 38
- Elyse Ngenda and Olivia Fleming trading buckets
- 10 stars from the night
- Why the cause means so much
.@Ryan3Altman played for his late grandmother. @tessbaacke played for her late mother.
For many @ASFL_Shoot4Cure athletes, the cause hits close to home.
"I’m always thinking of her, especially when I put on this jersey." https://t.co/a5IxNsRB9u @GlobeSchools
.@Ryan3Altman on honoring his grandmother: "Anytime I can combine my two favorite things, basketball and raising money for cancer, nothing can beat it ... I’m always thinking of her, especially when I put on this jersey." @GlobeSchools@Slo_24@ASFL_Shoot4Cure
.@Slo_24: "@JayxJones5 and @Ryan3Altman, they’ve been so committed to it. Their college stuff is already figured out. They’re not going to get a recruiting bump from this. They don’t have to be here. They’re really good people." @ASFL_Shoot4Cure@GlobeSchools
Final: White 175, Blue 170
Isaiah Langham 32 and Ryan Altman a triple-double with 24 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists for White. Kyle Benjamin 31 and Zach Baum 25 and 10 for Blue.
Another entertaining battle @GlobeSchools@ASFL_Shoot4Cure@LanghamIsaiah@Ryan3Altman
Boys' game thoughts:
- @Ryan3Altman sees everything at once and dictates the action.
- @Z_baum25 is active around the rim.
- @quinncostello3 is smooth and moves well for his size.
- @LanghamIsaiah's versatility as a dunker is impressive.
- @Jperri1211 can really shoot it.

Wasn’t able to be there this weekend, and when people ask me how, I know they haven’t met @jwerrick before…3-0 on the weekend of all 15+ points with a new group figuring it out together. Me and the boys are beyond lucky!
Good weekend getting our new group going - best part was having Jay Jones ‘24, Ryan Altman ‘25, and Andrew Alekseyenko ‘25 on the sidelines helping the crew figure it out. Lucky to have guys that love paying it back
