Grüngewald Hueschtert B (GREB) controlled AB Contern (CON) 89-62 in Oberanven/Central in M-U18 Division 4 Phase 1. Contern opened 0-4, but GREB replied with an 11-0 run to 11-4 and closed the first quarter at 16-11. Early in the second, Santiago Capozucca strung together back-to-back triples to spark separation, while Damian Ioannis Xirouchakis (16, 1.76m) kept CON within range with steady two-pointers and trips to the line. Half-time: 42-29.
The third quarter belonged to GREB. Felix Penning poured in GREB's next eight team points by himself (two free throws, then three field goals) to push the gap to 54-35, and a later 9-0 burst carried the lead to 66-41. GREB's highest lead reached 29 at 89-60 in the fourth. In the final period, CON coach Jeff Roth received a C1 technical and GREB's Juan Santiago Lopez Oderigo was assessed an unsportsmanlike foul (U2), without changing the trajectory.
