3 Outta 5 Ain't Bad


The Alouettes were up for 5 of the 6 Gibson Finest player awards tonight at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary. The Als were able to muster up a pair of repeat winners and one first timer.

Anthony Calvillo was named Most Outstanding player of this past CFL season, Scott Flory, my co-host on The Rouge Radio Show, picked up his second Lineman of the year award and Kick Returner Larry Taylor was awarded special team player of the year.

Ben Cahoon was beat out on Top Canadian by Ricky Foley and Anwar Stewart was edged by Saskatchewan Defensive Lineman John chick for top defensive player of the year.

Calvillo received 44 of 55 votes over Calgary running back Joffrey Reynolds
Flory totaled 37 of 55 to overtake Calgary Tackle Ben Archibald
And Larry Taylor acquired 36 of the 55 to beat out B.C.’s Special teamer Jason Arakgi.

In a tight race Ricky Foley edged Ben Cahoon 31-24 and Anwar Stewart lost 34-21.

The only award without an Alouette involved was the Leagues Most outstanding rookie. B.C. Lions running back Martell Mallet took that honour over Winnipeg DB Johnathan Hefney.

Other Awards handed out on the night:
Marwan Hage picked up the Tom Pate Memorial Award for his work within the Hamilton community.
The Commissioner’s Award went to Wally Buono who became the CFL all-time leader in coaching wins this season.
In the upset of the night, Bomber Doug Brown beat out Weston Dressler in the Reebok Best Move Award. It’s an upset because Brown beat out a Roughrider in a Fan vote.
