North Fox B edged Black Frogs Schieren C, 61-56, in Schieren after a tense finish shaped by a massive third-quarter swing and a late basket. The first half was a dead heat (16-16, 15-15), with Daniel Kemp striking twice from deep early and Noah Michels keeping FROC level, while North Fox answered through the perimeter rhythm of Sebastien Schmitz (26, 1.86m) and the inside activity of Nadjahou Mousel Mounda (27, 1.79m, COM) and Fbio Samuel Mauricio Gomes (26, 1.92m, PRT).
The game turned after halftime. Out of a mid-quarter timeout, FOXB authored a 14-0 run from 41-36 to 41-50, stringing together stops and scores via Schmitz, Gomes and a burst from Eldar Sabotic. That frame finished 10-19, and the visitors later pushed their largest lead to +13 (46-59).
FROC still made it a game. Angelo Possing (36) poured in points despite foul trouble (4 fouls), catalyzing a 9-0 response in the fourth: a two, a free throw, another two, with Michels adding a basket to trim it to 55-59. Game winners for North Fox B were Schmitz, who led all visitors with 19 and calmly converted late free throws, and Louis Rodel, whose late field goal halted the Black Frogs' surge and effectively sealed it. Sabotic (13) and Mousel Mounda (13) added balance, while Gomes finished with 11. For the hosts, Possing topped the night with 22, Kemp had 14, and Michels 11. Coach-player Jerry Valente chipped in 7 while trying to steady the late push.
In the standings, coach Joao Da Silva Moreira's team jumps five places to 3rd (2-1), bouncing back to the win column after a loss (win, loss, win). FROC sits 4th (1-2) and is now on a two-game slide. Notably, Joao Da Silva Moreira (Season PPG: 2.75) hit a timely fourth-quarter three that helped set up the decisive cushion.
