Vanier Cup champs hope to take a run at the Grey Cup Continued from page 32 "Coming into Laurier I didn‘t even think I‘d get drafted. It wasn‘t until three years in that I realized that I had an opportunity, and I really worked hard for it." Both were pivotal players in the Golden Hawks‘ run to a national title in 2005. They‘re the type of players that bled purple and gold for the school, although Carter said he might have to hide his school colours for those who remember the Hawk‘s upset win over the Saskatchewan Huskies. Now . it‘s all about another stoâ€" ried title that they both hope they can attach their names to â€" the Grey Cup. Phillips started out as a redâ€" shirted freshman with the Hawks, eventually graduating from the defensive backfield to a linebackâ€" ing position. He gained in size and stature over his five years with the Hawks, but also managed to hold on to his speed. His speed opened the eyes "As long as I don‘t wear my Wilâ€" frid Laurier stuff, I‘ll be fine," he laughed. "But Il‘ll have to wear some purple, it really brings out my eyes." ‘ t PPE 4 3 | arparson d e Soart Drectv o Ecucater Learning * Caring * Connecting A Low Rate Mortgage ‘i P i GMI-C /RRSP /RRIF That Works For You k s um o 24/7 Service Available (‘ 4 @ 5 o e cart PAUL NOW at EDUCATION _ "T&mfaFomers"" 519â€"772â€"3002 What they share in common is the ability to make the big play. And they want to continue to be playmakers at the next level. "I came in and 1 was undersized to play linebacker and dâ€"line," said Phillips, 22. "As 1 put on weight 1 maintained the same agility level, so with the bigger size 1 became more versatile." Carter was a tweener himself. He had the speed to play in the defensive backfield, but he also had the instinets to attack the quarterback. Phillips was putting the finishâ€" ing touches on his CFL entry conâ€" tract with Calgary on Monday, and hopes to break into the defensive front seven of the Stampeders. "I‘ve been drafted to play a blitzing linebacker position," said Phillips who‘s already talked to the Calgary coaches. "There are many duties similar to what a defensive end would do like rushing the passer. of CFL scouts looking for the killer combination that makes a lot of great football players â€" size and â€"_ "I kind of suit the mould of that position."

"So I‘m going to have to think twice about whether I‘m going to go to Saskatchewan with my dreads." He‘ll be helped by the fact that former Hawks Donnie Ruiz is already a member of the team. Carter will also be joined in the Roughriders training camp by teammate Jesse Alexander, who was at Saskatchewan‘s camp last mountain to climb, but is ready to do anything to make the team. He said he might even shorten up his now famous dreadlocks. Carter said there would be nothing better to look over and lineup right next to Alexander. They have had a symbiotic relaâ€" tionship on the field for the last couple of years, both playing off of each other‘s strengths. To do the same at the next level would make the transition to the pro game that much easier. r~ And the transition to the pro game is a lot more than just about a passion to play, said Carter. It‘s also about a pay cheque, and claiming a spot from somebody else who might have a family to feed.

Names like Ruiz, Corey Grant, Andre Talbot and lan Logan can pass on some advice to the latest CFLers from WLU. "Getting paid or not, I‘ll always love football," said Carter. "It‘s just an added bonus to get paid to do what l Jove most." "That starting spot might be their life," said Carter. "It‘s a job â€" it‘s no longer an activity where you can go out and have fun with your friends. "It‘s no longer practice anymore â€" it‘s life. Come training camp you have to outperform your teamâ€" mates, and come the season you have to outperform your oppoâ€" nent." While the CFL is a business, football is still a game for Carter.
