Two Huskies named CanWest Allstars

Two University of Saskatchewan Huskie football players have been honoured for their seasons by being named Canada West All-Stars last week.

Fourth-year offensive linemen Ben Heenan and third-year defensive end Zach Hart have were each given the nod. It is the second straight year that both Heenan and Hart have been named Canada West All-Stars.

Heenan and his line helped the Huskies to the third-best scoring offence scoring 238 points in eight conference games to average 29.8 per game. The Huskies also had the third-best rushing offence with 1,257 yards on the ground in the season.

Hart tallied 32.5 tackles, three sacks for a loss of 16 yards and one force fumble in 2011.
