3 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.
