Lazarus Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 On a related news story: The Olympian: Broncos' Koutouvides embraces Greek and middle linebacker position When Niko Koutouvides was growing up, the weekly schedule was always the same. Koutouvides and his two brothers would go to regular school five days a week. Then when his friends played on the weekend, he had Greek school on Saturday and Sunday school at the Greek Orthodox church. Read story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
