North Vancouver's Dylan Roper earned impressive accolades after putting together a strong season with the Langley Rams of the British Columbia Football Conference.
The former Carson Graham and Simon Fraser star was named the Outstanding Defensive Lineman and Outstanding Defensive Player after leading the conference with 10 sacks. Roper also recorded 11 tackles, seven assists, one knockdown and two forced fumbles in nine regular season games.
Roper and the Rams went on to beat the Okanagan Sun 23-19 in the Cullen Cup Oct. 26 to claim the conference title. The Rams will host the Saskatoon Hilltops this Saturday in the Canadian Bowl, the championship game of the Canadian Junior Football League. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. at Langley's McLeod Stadium.
