In M-Division 1, 11th-placed US Heffingen C completed the season sweep of 12th-placed Black Star Mersch B with a 63-45 road win, after the earlier 80-60 result between the same teams.
Black Star Mersch B started better and led 12-6 after the first quarter. Ben Hilges and Yannick Beckers gave the home side early scoring, and Mersch still held a 17-11 advantage in the second period. The game then shifted sharply: Heffingen answered with a 14-0 run to take a 25-17 lead, with Nicolas Colbach and Nils Rock driving that sequence. BSMB reacted well before halftime, hitting back-to-back threes through Dan Mathes and Leandro Da Silva Nunes (17, PRT) to stay within 23-25.
The decisive stretch came just after the break. Mersch briefly moved back in front at 28-25, but Heffingen immediately responded with an 11-0 run for 36-28. Colbach was very active in that phase, and Manuel Scholtus added steady scoring. Heffingen won the third quarter 16-7 and kept control in the fourth, where the margin grew to a game-high 19 points.
Scholtus (Season PPG: 10.54) led HEFC with 14 points. Colbach (Season PPG: 5.27) scored 13, Rock (Season PPG: 13.29) added 12, and Charel Hetto finished with 12. For BSMB, Hilges scored 9, Beckers 8, and captain Pol Rodesch (Season PPG: 15.35) had 7, but his foul trouble mattered: after an unsportsmanlike foul in the second quarter, he committed three fouls in a row in the third and fouled out late.
