Three Rams named Canada West all-stars
EDMONTON, Alta. - Three members of the University of Regina Rams
were selections on the 2009 Canada West all-star team announced
Tuesday morning, including Bjorn Person, Perri Scarcelli, and
Jordan Sisco.
Person, a fifth-year defensive tackle from Preeceville, had a
career-high 15½ total tackles for the Rams in the regular
season. He ends his five-season career with the Rams with 36½
total tackles including 6½ tackles for loss and three sacks.
“Bjorn worked very hard with us and is very deserving of his
all-star award,” Rams head coach Frank McCrystal said. “He
finished the season as the only returning player on the d-line
and was a great anchor and leader for us there.”
Scarcelli, who became just the second kicker in Canada West
history to hit 20 field goals in a season this year, was
successful on 20 of his 23 field goal attempts and was a perfect
12-for-12 in point-after attempts.He ends his five-season career
with the Rams ranked No. 3 in Canada West history with 56 field
goals made.
“Perri had a great season for us,” McCrystal said. “He really
responded well to the pressure and the leadership role that was
thrust on him, and he was very much a factor in every game we
played this season.”
Sisco, a fourth-year player who made the move from wide receiver
to slotback this season, earns conference all-star honours for
the second consecutive season. He led Canada West with 52
receptions and registered 700 receiving yards and two touchdown
catches. Considered a prospect for the 2010 CFL Draft, Sisco
needs just 33 more catches to surpass former Rams slotback Chad
Goldie as Canada West’s all-time leader in career receptions.
“Jordan is quite simply one of the greatest receivers we’ve had
here,” McCrystal said. “He has been an impact player from Day 1
with us, and we fully expect him to go on to a very successful
professional career.”
The Rams have now had at least three Canada West all-stars in
each of the last four seasons.
