Black Frogs Schieren B controlled AS Soleuvre B 84-61 in Schieren, avenging the October loss (72-56) and reshaping the top of the M-Nationale 3 standings. The game turned before halftime: from 26-28 down, the Frogs closed the half on an 18-6 run to 44-34, fueled by perimeter strikes from Janssen Liu (three triples) and Francis Kneip, plus a late three by Charel Pol Goetzinger.
After the break, Coach Bob Hirt's team kept the pressure. Daniel Freichel (Season PPG: 16.5) put his stamp on the third quarter with a sequence of free throws and interior finishes, scoring seven points across a key stretch as the lead stayed in double digits (61-47 after 30'). Early in the fourth, Jerry Valente scored back-to-back baskets to make it 65-47, and the hosts never looked back, pushing the margin to a game-high +23 at the horn.
Freichel led FROB with 23 points (9 from the line) and later fouled out in the fourth but only after the game was decided. Liu added 13 with three made threes, while Goetzinger chipped in 13. FROB owned the arc, hitting six triples to SOLB's none.
For SOLB, Kieran Nono (22, 1.89m, IRL) battled for 17 points, Tom Lahure had 14, and 19-year-old forward/center Ibrahim Hasic added 13. Coach Hervé Marie-Rose's side stayed in touch for a half but couldn't match the hosts' balanced scoring and outside threat.
Form and table implications: FROB climb to 2nd (+1) at 6-4 and are on a two-game winning streak. SOLB slip to 3rd (-1) at 5-5 and have now dropped four straight.
