M-Coupe de l'Avenir, 1/8 finales, Reuler Grëngewald Hueschtert overwhelmed North Fox 91-20 after a ruthless start that set the tone. The visitors opened on a 34-0 first quarter, then pushed the gap to 54-0 before Fox finally scored from the line through captain Mattis Rob (FOX). The game's decisive stretch was that opening avalanche, driven by relentless two-point finishing and pressure on both ends.
Pol Elcheroth (15) headlined the night with 37 points, including an exceptional 17 made two-pointers and steady trips to the line. Mats Van den Biezenbos (NLD) added 23, repeatedly leaking out and finishing in transition. Victor Möller (SWE) chipped in 9 with a made three, while Mika Kirchen added 6 and Ricardo Santos da Silva Zorrinh posted 8. Ricardo also picked up two quick P2 fouls in the first quarter, but it did not alter the momentum.
For Fox, Mattis Rob (14) led with 8 and broke the scoring drought late in the second quarter. Yannis Ludes (13) contributed 4, including a third-quarter three, and Julien Rucken (15) hit from deep. Nick Schmitz added 3 and, notably, collected P2 fouls in each of the first three quarters. Aaron Omane Khaireh (Season PPG: 0.8) scored 2 in the fourth.
Discipline punctuated the second half: Sebastiao Fernandes Goncalves (GRE) received a D2 in the third quarter and was disqualified; Aidan Salmon was assessed a T1 shortly after; Axel Tabarro took a U2 late in the fourth. Despite that phase, Bojan Eric's group kept control, answering Fox's brief third-quarter spark when Ludes and Rucken hit from distance with steady inside scoring. Nermin Civic's young Fox side fought to the end, but the visitors' early 54-0 roll and continued interior dominance carried the day, with the highest lead matching the final margin of +71.
