STATEMENT BY KOSTAS SLOUKAS

“Our pre-season camp at Karpenisi ended with two friendly games. We are taking steps forward, but we have the same philosophy as last year. For sure new things are going to be incorporated in our game, but the good thing is we don’t have to start building from scratch. We are very close on and off court since most of the guys from last year’s team stayed this year as well. For us, it’s important to be ready and at top level when the official games begin. I wish to Apollo to achieve their goals, they are a team with a wide fan base and deserves being in the big category”.
