NEUFCHATEAU - A dismantled BC ASSE-TERNAT - A in Group Stage play, running away to a 91–52 victory that was never in doubt from the opening whistle. Our Lions established control early, jumping to 23–12 after one quarter and stretching the lead to 48–27 by half-time. The gap only widened in the second half, with NEUFCHATEAU - A posting 26 points in the third quarter alone to reach 74–41 heading into the fourth. Samuel Schadeck led the onslaught with 27 points on efficient shooting — 11 of 13 from the field and 5 of 7 from three. Hugo Deneve added 14 points and 4 steals, while Nicolas Sturam chipped in 10 points and 3 assists as the entire roster moved the ball freely. BC ASSE-TERNAT - A could not keep pace; Sam Caron's 13 points and Goyens Jan's 11 were isolated bright spots in an otherwise lopsided affair. This was a statement performance in the opening round.
