We want to introduce our team to our fans downunder and beyond the Atlantic after Bailey’s friend’s request.  Team Dioskouroi (after the famous brothers Castor and Pollux) Kozanis officially won their first 3 matchups for the season vs Anagenisi (rebirth) Karditsas, Megas Alexandros (Alexander the Great) Giannitson and Argos Orestiko. This team has an excellent story to tell with the best young core of the league.

In the starting lineup, you can find a teenager John Patsios alongside Bailey Chambers, Thanasis Strotos, George Athanasiadis, and Dinos Govedaros all of them with the youngest coach in the League Thomas Vlahos made their debut at the National League. And they did well confronting and beating 3 experienced teams. The last match against Argos was the toughest so far, but iron sharpens iron, and the night ended in heroics that got the arena crowd roaring with glee. Our young players motivated by the vast crowd gave an incredibly gritty performance and won the game.

But who is who? Bailey (born 2004) plays a key role in this team, being the favorite player of our young fans. A bit undersized but don’t let that fool you. His specialty is to cook the defenders break some ankles and lead the team when going gets tough. Strotos (born 2003) is a talented small forward finding 101 ways to score. Athanasiadis (born 2003)  is a real juggernaut contributing to all statistics categories.  Govedaros is the oldest!! (born 1998) player in the team, our best defender, swift, smart, and dish out assists like candies. Chliaras (born 2001)  is the most mature player in the team, a great defender, and a decent scorer. Kyroudis (born 2004) is our spot shooter, left-handed, a real killer. Staktaris (born 2004) and Kostarelopoulos (born 1999) are 2 of the most talented players trying to come back from the injury to make a statement out of their performance. Pliakis (born 1999) is our tower, strong and steadfast active rebounder on both ends. Kotoulas (born 1999) is another young guard able to make tough shots. Takoutis (born 2003) is still in injury list and expected to come back at November. Samaras (born 2006) is one of the youngest players with a vast wingspan able to steal any pass and make critical shots. Chrisidis (born 2006) is our power forward and very talented with good instincts offensively. Last but not least our 3 teenagers Patsios, Karakoulas and Papakonstantinou (born 2008). Especially talented with very high energy. We must remind everyone that you are what you do not what you say you will do. The facts speak for themselves. let’s all help these young guys spread their wings and fly high.
