Black Frogs Schieren (FRO) controlled their friendly against North Fox (FOX) 76-53 in Schieren, building a cushion early and stretching it after halftime. The opening quarter swung on a burst from Eric Christopher Anderson (26, USA), who poured in a quick 10 points in a short span to turn 11-11 into 21-13 and set the tone (21-14 after Q1).
The second period belonged to captain Alexandre Pereira Meireles (23, 1.96m, PRT): four triples and multiple drives fueled a 23-17 quarter, with FRO repeatedly punishing gaps in transition and early offense. Despite Pereira's four fouls, Bob Hirt's group kept its rhythm, while a technical on Philippe Conte in Q2 and, later, an unsportsmanlike on FOX's Tom Uding (28) in Q3 marked a chippy middle phase.
After the break, FRO's perimeter continued to click. Khyree Terell Armstead (25, 1.96m, USA) and Gabriel Solomon (23, 1.83m) added threes as the lead moved to 66-45 after three. To open the fourth, Rafael Benitovitch Brito Rivera de Jesus (20, 1.89m, CPV) scored six straight, and the Frogs hit their largest lead at +27 (72-45) before closing comfortably.
Top performers FRO: Anderson 19, Pereira 18, Armstead 13, Solomon 7, Rodrigues-Machado (18) 7, Brito 6. Top performers FOX: Stephane Banga Kpako (31, BEL) 19 led Mike Pravisani's side, with Charel Linden (24) 13, Uding 7, and Mathys Neves (19) 5. The game evolution Anderson's first-quarter surge, Pereira's second-quarter barrage, and a 6-0 Brito start to Q4 defined a wire-to-wire home win.
