Chase Cantrell, DE (2008 NAFL All Star)
The British Columbia Spartans roared to life in 2008
flying through the NAFL Northwest undefeated until the San Diego Thunder
put a stop to the 12 game winning streak. Following the season,
turmoil erupted as players, coaches and owners battled it out eventually
leading to the formation of the Langley Longhorns and a number of
personnel leaving for the US-based Bellingham Bulldogs.
Co-Founder Shackelford was asked to resign by the
board of directors after financial discrepancies arose and missing money
for insurance left the players uncovered for the final games of the
season.
The
Spartans, after winning the NAFL Northwest in it's first season did not
return in 2009 but remain a community not-for-profit organization in the
area. |
