Black Frogs Schieren edged AS Soleuvre 75-74 in Schieren after a dramatic swing of momentum and a tense finish. The visitors blitzed the opening quarter 30-15 behind a barrage from Felix Whitcomb Kloman (Season PPG: 30.87, RPG: 6.36, AssPG: 2.21), who drilled back-to-back threes and piled up long-range makes as SOL built the night's largest lead at +15. Khyree Terell Armstead (Season PPG: 16.79, RPG: 8.29, AssPG: 7.29) answered with consecutive triples to get FRO going, and Nigel Tolentino's team flipped the game in the second period with a 24-7 quarter, powered by Eric Christopher Anderson (Season PPG: 21.14, RPG: 10.00, AssPG: 3.07) and Leandro RodriguesMachado.
FRO kept pressing in the third (26-19), stretching the gap to +10 at 63-53 after a Gabriel Solomon three. Soleuvre, coached by Eric Bettini, mounted a final push in the fourth (10-18). Kloman kept firing, and Christian Jeffrey Parker (Season PPG: 23.94, RPG: 13.20, AssPG: 2.27) worked inside, finishing with a double-double. Solomon's late triple for 75-71 ultimately stood as the game-winner; moments later he committed an unsportsmanlike foul, allowing Parker to trim it to 75-74 from the line, but FRO held on through the final possessions.
Anderson led the winners with 24 points and 7 rebounds, earning game MVP honors, while Armstead flirted with a triple-double (18 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals). From the local contingent, Alexandre Pereira Meireles (Season PPG: 8.44, RPG: 4.75, AssPG: 2.38) added 13 key points.
For Soleuvre, Kloman poured in 33 points, including an excellent 8/14 from three (57%). Parker added 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Sandro Sana Sanches Gomes Junior (Season PPG: 10.56, RPG: 5.77, AssPG: 0.69) contributed 15. Team shooting from deep was good on both sides (FRO 43%, SOL 39%), while two-point efficiency stayed low for both. The free-throw gap (SOL 13 makes to FRO 3) kept the game tight.
Schieren also balanced the head-to-head after losing the first meeting 63-80, and this result extends FRO's winning streak to four.
