Calgary Stampeders’ Demerio Houston success leads back home

Calgary Stampeders defensive back Demerio Houston has been a winner at every level of football.

Dating back to his high school days at Shelby Highschool in North Carolina, the 27-year old was part of a dynasty that dominated state football.

His alma mater captured at least one state title in each of the last six decades, making them the most successful football program in the state.

Houston has never forgotten his little hometown that continues to produce high-level athletes.

The CFL leader in interceptions a year ago, the defensive back has made an instant impact in just two games with the Stampeders.
