M-Coupe des Jeunes, 1/8 finales in Schieren: Etzella Ettelbruck overpowered Black Frogs Schieren 104-39, setting the tone with a 33-6 first quarter and never looking back. Etzella opened on a 10-0 run, forcing an early timeout from coach Khyree Armstead, and closed the period with an 18-2 burst. The advantage kept swelling in the second quarter as Mattias Gertsson hit back-to-back triples to push the margin beyond reach; halftime read 59-17.
Coach Nelson Delgado rotated early and got production from everywhere. Arno Urwald (23 pts, 16 years) mixed drives and perimeter makes, while Lenny Lopes Morais added 21, including a five-point mini-run late in the first quarter. Giovanni Palermo Cardoso poured in 20 with two threes and trips to the line. Marvin Delgado dos Santos and Gertsson finished on 12 each, and the supporting cast kept the tempo high after each timeout.
Schieren found brief answers through outside shooting and effort plays. Nick Yan Marcel Kraus (14 years) led with 11 points, hitting late from deep, and Milo Reiser, the home captain, added a three in the fourth. Felix Bouzidi chipped in 5, including a third-quarter triple. Mathis Kraus started aggressively with a two and a three but picked up early fouls (two in the first quarter, another in the second) and eventually fouled out in the fourth, which further reduced Frogs' options on the wing.
Game evolution stayed one-way through the second half: Palermo's triple and transition points stretched it to 78-27 near the end of the third, and Etzella continued to run in the fourth, with Urwald and Lopes Morais striking from outside and mid-range. The highest lead reached 65 at 104-39. Etzella's captain Noah Wolter also contributed in the opening surge, and Stephane Silva added 8 from the bench.
Etzella advance to the next round of the cup.
