St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Parish in Flushing, New York, Opens Archdiocesan Basketball Championship With Blue and White G3 Teams

The two G3 basketball teams of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Parish in Flushing, New York, officially opened this year’s Archdiocesan Greek Orthodox Basketball Championship at the parish gymnasium. The teams are known as the “Blue” and “White” squads, and the only way to tell them apart is the color of their jerseys. The parish’s motto for the teams is “One Embrace, One Team, One Family,” a message of unity that matches the shared identity the two squads present (Psalm 133:1).

Eighteen players make up the Blue and White teams. Five coaches guide them through the season. The source names the players and coaches, but the players are listed without ages, so this report does not repeat their names.

Photographs released by the Greek Orthodox Basketball League show a prayer before the game between the Blue and White teams. The same league supplied a series of images of the matchup.

The coaches expressed their hopes for the season, wishing everyone good sportsmanship, good health, and joyful moments.
