Entente RES AMI (ERA) dominated Gr'ngewald Hueschtert (GRE) 80-49 in Walfer, breaking a three-game losing streak and moving to 5th in M-U18 Division 1 Phase 1. GRE remains winless (6th) after four straight losses.
The visitors struck first through captain Nicolas Fran ois L. Dupong's three, but ERA answered quickly via Aurel Nicula and settled into control, 20-16 after 10 minutes. Coach Thorsten Freiheit's group created real separation before halftime as captain Nicolas Roque do Amaral (ERA) hit back-to-back threes and Riley Wohl added inside and at the line, pushing the lead to 41-30 at the break.
The third quarter decided it. ERA's defense held GRE to eight points, while a sustained burst from Wohl and steady finishing from Tim Geisen and Nicula produced a 26-8 frame. ERA opened with an 8-0 run to 53-32 and closed the period on a 6-0 spurt to 67-38. In the fourth, ERA delivered a 9-0 run (from 69-44 to 78-44), their largest lead at +34, before closing 80-49.
Roque do Amaral (ERA) paced the hosts with 19 points, while Wohl (Season PPG: 8.8) added 18, repeatedly exploiting the stripe and the paint. Geisen (ERA) and Elvio Amen Alissoutin (ERA) chipped in 10 each; Nicula (Season PPG: 10.4) scored 8. For GRE, Juan Santiago Lopez Oderigo (Season PPG: 9.29; 15, USA) led with 16, Dupong (Season PPG: 7.57) scored 12, and Valentin Maggi (GRE) had 9, with Oliver Thomas Stobart (GRE) adding 8.
Key moments included Stobart picking up two quick personal fouls in the third, blunting GRE's inside presence, while JARUKAITIS's third personal later in the fourth came too late to influence the gap. Coach Nicolas Saquan Parrish's side had sporadic answers from Lopez Oderigo's perimeter shooting, but ERA's balanced scoring and third-quarter surge settled the outcome early.
