The AHEPA sponsored a team of Collegiate Greek Ameri- can Basketball players to travel to Greece. The team played four games against the Greek National Under 21 team and was coached by former Villanova coach Steve Lappas, Dis- trict #7’s very own Greg Stamos of New Haven, CT, and National AHEPA Basketball Director Costa Papade- metriou of Stamford, CT. The AHEPA team had a very successful record against the Greek National Team. The AHEPA team were seen as celeb- rities and enjoyed first class treatment by the Greek Govern- ment, Ministry of Sports, and the Supreme Convention dele- gates. The above picture was taken at a game held at OAKA Sta- dium on the site of the Olympic Village. The AHEPA team won this game 75 –65. 8 On the plane; returning home from Greece
