MESMA honors the memory of the late Panagiotis Hamilothoris for the 4th year in a row
The MESMA tournament “Panagiotis Hamilothoris” was held for the fourth time this year. That said President Giorgos Kotaridis to Sportish.
Sunday evening September 24th ended the 4th MESMA PANAGIOTIS HAMILOTHORIS Tournament held in honor of the late basketball player Panagiotis HAMILOTHORIS who lost his life in the fatal fires in Mati.
The first place was taken by the AO Galatsiou team, which won the grand final against MESMA, while before that the small final of the tournament was played between the teams ASK78 ANIXI and GS PROMITHEAS CHALANDRIOU.
The team and staff of MESMA, the board and family of Panagiotis thank all 3 teams for their participation in the games, as well as the Mayor of Marathon Mr. Stergios Tsirkas, the Deputy Mayor of Marathon Mr. Christos Stamos, the Deputy Mayor etc Nikos Karagiannis, the President of the Municipal Council Mr. Konstantinos Laskos and the former Mayor of Marathon Mr. Spyros Zagaris, who honored this important action with their presence.
Giorgos Kotaridis, President of MESMA, told Sportish: “Panagiotis was an amazing child who, like many people, was unjustly lost in the 2018 fires. Panagiotis was our friend and teammate. The decision was a one-way street for us to start some actions that will take place every year in his memory.
It all started with the support of Stoiximan in 2019, which turned into a beautiful 3on3 tournament with many participants. The events with the Corona virus forced us to insert a colon. We then switched to the logic of having some friendlies with the “Panagiotis Hamilothoris” tournament every September, with teams from all over Attica.
All proceeds go to charities chosen by the Panagiotis family. This year we gave it to a child who was in an accident. Food is also collected. In general, there are different promotions with academy games on two days.
The association has existed for many years. We’re trying to bring the club out of oblivion, get a job done in the academies, get kids into sports. This is for the love we have on the team for underrated marathon territory“.
A special mention also goes to all the sports enthusiasts who came to support the charitable purpose of this tournament with their attendance and residue, as well as the representatives of local organizations and clubs who helped by offering goods.
As every year, purpose was important this year as the proceeds of the tournament were donated to support young fellow Marathon Community resident Antonis Yazitzoglou who suffered a serious accident and is struggling to get back on his feet.
Finally, the MESMA team and staff would like to give a special thank you to the amazing sponsors and supporters of the tournament, first and foremost STOICHIMAN who has been by their side in all their endeavors over the last few years, but also to the Seneca Medical Group for their help and support, the was one of the main sponsors of the event for the first time this year, as well as the other sponsors – Sportish contributed as communication sponsor Marathon Boat Parking, martmobiles gr, ideasprint, Royal Paints, Bakery Kassimi and the restaurant La Playa – who did everything to ensure that the tournament can take place again this year, which has developed into an institution.

The Serbian specialist will replace Gordon Herbert as head coach, with whom the German champions agreed to end their cooperation early by mutual consent.
76-year-old Pesic took over as head of Bayern Munich for the second time. He first joined the Munich team in the autumn of 2012 and remained with them until 2016, winning the first Bundesliga title in the club’s history in 2014.

Head coach of BC Zaporozhye Dmitry Shchiglinsky He summarized the results of the team’s last matches in 2025 against Krivbass (68:84) and Niko-Basket (78:67).
“Going into the last calendar bubble this year we clearly understood how important this was for us in terms of tournament position. “Krivbass” were right behind us in the table and “Niko-Basket” were playing at home, so both matches promised to be extremely difficult. We were also without our captain Anton Buts, who was injured, which significantly affected the preparations.
We had a bad start to our match against Krivbass, the opponent scored their first long range shots, became confident and kept control of the match for most of the game. We managed to reduce the difference to 4 points in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately we did not have the strength to do more. Krivbass’ last attack with 11:0 gave them an important victory. In the absence of Anton Buts, they had to use rotation and it was not easy for Vyacheslav Kiktev to counter the opponent’s big players.
Our expectations were also the highest for our second match against Niko-Basket. We recently met with this team at the Ukrainian Cup and made a comprehensive analysis. I would like to thank my assistant for her quality work. We analyzed the mistakes in the previous match in detail and focused on playing defense. Even though we made many interventions at the beginning of the match, we could not immediately gain the scoring advantage. The team added more after the first quarter. There were quick breaks, easy points and a more organized attack, and these ultimately brought results. We got the win we needed.
Overall, I am happy with the results of this dough. We maintained our place among the top four teams in the Super League, so I evaluate the performance positively. Playing without one of the starting five players is a serious challenge for our team. I thank the men for their character; “After the defeat in the first match, no one gave up and the next day we played a high-quality game, first of all, as a single team.”
