Brandon University Dick and Verda McDonald Sports Wall of Fame
Euan Roberts had a remarkable run as a member of the Bobcat men's basketball team from 1991-1996.
Before coming to BU, Roberts played at Westwood High School in Malton, Ont. where he was a four-year division all-star.
The accolades continued to roll in for Roberts as a Bobcat. The Great Plains Athletic Conference recognized him as a league all-star in the final three years of his career.
Roberts helped the Bobcats capture three league titles and earn five straight trips to the national tournament over the course of his career. In his final season, the Bobcats won the 1996 CIAU championship to claim the program's fourth national title.
He was a major driving force behind the Bobcats' championship win. He had 14 points and seven rebounds in leading BU past the Alberta Golden Bears, while playing all 40 minutes in the final.
At the conclusion of the season, Roberts was recognized as the team's co-MVP, sharing the honour with teammate Keith Vassell.
Roberts reached great heights beyond the Bobcats. He played professionally in Iceland and was a member of Canada's National 'B' Team that competed in the Jones Cup in Taiwan in the summer of 1995.
Following his player career, Roberts gave back to the game in a big way, coaching in B.C. for over 20 years. He led the Abbotsford-based Yale Lions to the B.C. 'AAAA' boys' provincial basketball championship in 2015 and was named coach of the year.
