Two Weyburnite athletes have been nominated to the CFL West Division All-Star Team. Centre Brett Jones of the Calgary Stampeders and Guard Brendon LaBatte of the Saskatchewan Roughriders were both given the nod to the team.
The Stampeders selected Jones in the second round of the 2013 CFL Canadian Draft. Jones, a former Regina Ram, is also Calgary's nominee for the CFL's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman this year.
LaBatte is in his third season with the Riders and earned his sixth consecutive Division All-Star nomination. He previously was selected to the West Division in 2012 and 2013, and the East Division team in 2009, 2010 and 2011, as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The league awards will be presented on Thursday, November 27 in conjunction with Grey Cup week in B.C.
