US Heffingen dismantled North Fox 109-60 in Reuler, a wire-to-wire performance shaped by an explosive start and ruthless third quarter. HEF opened with an 0-8 burst (Parker, Schuder Minden, Quarry) and never looked back. Midway through the first, Gerry Schuder Minden hit back-to-back threes and Oly added another from deep to stretch it to 13-29 after 10 minutes. The margin stood 34-57 at halftime.
The game broke open for good in the third (10-29): Thomas Killian Quarry (Season PPG: 26.14, RPG: 6.89, AssPG: 1.89) strung together six straight points and Schuder Minden added steady free throws and a layup as the lead ballooned, peaking at +49 by the horn. Coach Alexis Kreps' side shot with control and volume: 55% on 2s (26/47) and 46% from three (12/26), while Fox struggled at 38% on 2s and 20% from deep.
Individually, Quarry was an efficient MVP (29 pts on 8/11 2P, 3/7 3P, 4/4 FT). Austin Joseph Parker III (Season PPG: 17.71, RPG: 8.89, AssPG: 2.11) added 15, and Luke Henry Haasl (Season PPG: 15.14, RPG: 13.33) owned the glass with 16 rebounds. Among the locals, Schuder Minden (Season PPG: 12.57, RPG: 3.33, AssPG: 2.89) nailed 5/8 threes for 21 points; Lee Bourgeois chipped in 13.
For Fox, Charel Linden (Season PPG: 15.83, RPG: 6.55, AssPG: 3.45) and Stephane Banga Kpako (16 pts, 4 stl) shared top scoring; Linden put together five in a row early in Q4. The 2.04m center Jona Hanf had an efficient 11 points but fouled out, further thinning Fox's interior options. Shooting inefficiency (FT 9/16) and 25 HEF defensive boards limited any comeback.
Context matters: HEF dressed two professionals while FOX had none. In the table, Heffingen stay perfect at 7-0 and lead the M-Nationale 2; Fox drop to 1-5 and 9th.
