Etzella Ettelbruck (ETZ) controlled their MU18 Division 1 game in Oberanven/Central, beating Gr'ngewald Hueschtert (GRE) 7948. The visitors set the tone with a 227 first quarter, sparked by an 110 run from 410 to 421 that mixed outside shooting with pressure defense. ETZ kept a firm grip to halftime (4223) and never looked back.
The third quarter was more balanced (1211 ETZ), with Oliver Thomas Stobart carrying GRE's offense inside, but ETZ's Charel Wilmes answered with backtoback triples to steady the leaders. Early in the fourth, ETZ delivered the knockout: a 120 burst (from 3656 to 3668) featuring captain Noah Wolter at the rim and Lenny Lopes Morais from deep pushed the game out of reach. The lead peaked at 31 by the final buzzer.
Top scorers ETZ: Marvin Delgado dos Santos 21, Lopes Morais 19 (five threes), Wolter 16, Wilmes 12 (four threes). Stephane Rocardo Silva (17, AGO) added timely perimeter scoring. GRE was led by Stobart 12, Felix Penning 9 and Harik Avanesov 7; support came from Valentin Maggi, Santiago Capozucca, Juan Santiago Lopez Oderigo (15, USA) and Egidijus Jarukaitis (17, LTU) with 4 apiece. Jarukaitis picked up early fouls in the first quarter, complicating rotations for coach Nicolas Saquan Parrish, while Nelson Delgado's group rode hot perimeter shooting: ETZ drilled 14 triples to GRE's 2.
In the standings, ETZ remain 1st at 20 (win, win), while GRE drop to 6th at 02 (loss, loss).
