JL Bourg Dominates Home Tournament

Despite missing three key players – Nathan Soliman (hand), Tysan Walker (muscle alert), and Anthony Labanca (hamstring) – JL Bourg demonstrated exceptional resilience and skill. Following their semi-final victory over Fribourg, the team delivered a commanding performance against Treviso, at one point establishing a significant 22-point lead (46-24).

Tyrese Samuel led the scoring with 19 points, supported by Assémian Moularé's 14 points and 7 assists, and Hugo Robineau's 11 points. Lionel Gaudoux was the team's top rebounder with 8 boards.

"It's good to start by winning this tournament in front of our home crowd, but we still have things to work on, especially defensively. We also need to get some players back," emphasized coach Frédéric Fauthoux to Le Progrès. "Tonight, we were missing three perimeter players. In terms of team building, connections are being made without many players. We need to get them back quickly to establish automatisms."
