US Heffingen overpowered CFBB U18 in Ins, 94-71, controlling the game from the outset and stretching their perfect run in Nationale 2 to 13-0. The visitors opened on a 9-0 burst to 11-2, set the tone with a 22-14 first quarter, and pushed the gap to 52-36 at halftime as Austin Parker III and Thomas Killian Quarry punished inside touches. After the break, Charel Brettner sparked U18 with a personal 5-0 to 41-52, but Heffingen immediately replied through Parker, Quarry and a Frank Jacoby three, restoring a safe margin and peaking at +25 (84-59) before closing it out.
Heffingen's shot profile told the story: 64% on twos (good), 17 assists, 14 steals and 7 blocks. U18 fought on the glass (18 offensive rebounds) but struggled to convert (2P 36%, 3P 28.6%, FT 52.4%). Coach Alexis Kreps' team also had two professionals available, while U18 had none an edge that showed in rim protection and finishing.
Among the imports, Quarry (26 pts, 10 reb, 5 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk; Season PPG: 26.23, RPG: 5.44, AssPG: 1.81) was MVP and again a handful at both ends; the 2.01m forward (USA) mixed post-ups with timely threes. Parker III added 20 points on an excellent 8/11 2P (Season PPG: 16.23, RPG: 7.31). Luke Haasl (9 pts) complemented the interior punch. From the homegrown group, Gerry Schuder Minden (13 pts; Season PPG: 14.15) and Jordan Rodrigo Carreira (12 pts, 6/8 FT; Season PPG: 9.09) provided steady backcourt production, while Jacoby's 2/3 from deep included the late dagger.
U18's home contingent was led by Lee Brosius (18 pts with three triples; Season PPG: 13.11, RPG: 9.25) and Samuel Rehak (18 pts, 3/4 3P excellent), supported by Sarunas Sulcas (11 pts). Early foul trouble for El Hadji Modou Thiam Diop (three personals in Q1) hurt their interior presence. Coach Alexandre Carradore's side had energy and second chances but not the efficiency to threaten late.
In the table, Heffingen remain clear leaders (13-0), extending their winning streak well beyond three games; CFBB U18 sit 10th (2-9, including one forfeit).
