First-ranked Arantia Larochette controlled the meeting with second-ranked AS Soleuvre B from the start and won 115-49, moving to 4-0 with a fourth straight victory.
Coach Pit Hoffmann's team imposed itself immediately. Arantia opened on a 20-0 run, and 12-year-old Sam Göhlhausen (ARA) was already on a roll there, scoring 12 team points in a row during that early burst. Soleuvre settled later in the quarter, mainly through Milo Léo Ferrai (SOLB), but Arantia still closed the first period ahead 34-20.
The second quarter kept the same direction. Ferrai continued to carry Soleuvre and had already built a major part of his total by halftime, yet Arantia had far more balance. Jang Hoffmann (ARA), Jules Schalbar (ARA) and Tunn Van Meel (ARA) kept the pressure on, and the home side went into the break with a 56-29 lead.
The decisive stretch came after halftime. Arantia dominated the third quarter 31-2 and removed all suspense. Göhlhausen and Hoffmann kept finishing well, Schalbar added another scoring push, and 11-year-old Mingxuan Li (ARA) gave the hosts more punch late in the period. Soleuvre also lost rhythm when Jonah Calixte (Season PPG: 7.17) picked up three fouls in a row in the third, the last one a technical.
Arantia placed five players in double figures: Göhlhausen 30, Hoffmann 21, Schalbar 18, Li 16 and Van Meel 10. Ferrai was the main answer for Soleuvre with 31 points, while Calixte added 10. The highest gap reached 66 points late in the game. Soleuvre is now on a two-game losing run and stays second in the standings.
