Over the last week, a beloved member & mother of our Spartans family, Shelly Hanley, sadly passed away.

Shelly & her family are members of the BK Owls family & our Spartans representative family, and BK teams over the weekend have been wearing green during their games to show their support for the Hanley family.

At this weekends U16 & U14 representative games, we’re encouraging everyone to wear something green during their games - ribbons, tape, or anything green.

Our Darkside Family is sending all of our love & support to the Hanley family in this time 💚🤍
