Sportsman of the Year 2021 The 33rd annual Shirley Boys’ High School Spartan Sports Sportsman of the Year Awards was run as a video presentation this year due to COVID gathering restrictions. We wish to commend all the athletes, coaches, managers and administrators that have worked so hard to make sport work this year at SBHS under such trying circumstances. The cancellation of national and regional tournaments and fixtures was not only disappointing, but it made selecting our winners extremely difficult when trying to compare without comparison. We had some fantastic nominees, and again, in such a trying climate this year these boys have really excelled. Visit the sbhsspartansport Instagram page to view the awards.
