The DODEA-Europe boys basketball season resumed from its month-long slumber with several spirited doubleheader splits this weekend.

Black Forest 70/60, Kaiserslautern 64/60: At Kandern, Germany, the host Falcons played the perennial large-school contenders to a draw.

Black Forest, a former Division II stalwart in the midst of its Division I debut campaign, improved to 3-0 in divisional play with a narrow Friday victory.

Gabriel Kruse scored 24 points for the Falcons, overcoming a 32-point effort by Raiders star Tre Dotson.

The Falcons took their first Division I loss on Saturday as the visitors evened the series. Darius Camp scored a game-high 30 and Dotson chipped in 20 in the win. Kruse went for 25 in defeat.

Wiesbaden 54/34, Vilseck 41/44: At Vilseck, the Division I hopefuls jockeyed for postseason position in a competitive split.

Wiesbaden took the opener behind a 17-point scoring outburst by Darnell Moran Jr. and 11 points in support by Zach Kirk. The host Falcons responded Saturday, holding the Warriors to two third-quarter points to stretch a narrow halftime lead. Matthew Gardner scored a game-high 11 to lead a balanced Vilseck offense.

Ramstein 42/35, Stuttgart 38/44: At Stuttgart, the Panthers handed the defending champ Royals their first loss of the season in the back half of an evenly matched doubleheader.

The loss is Ramstein’s first since Dec. 5, 2017.

Logan Crouch scored 10 points to lead an equitable Stuttgart offense in Saturday’s win. Ahmir Johnson and Cardy Moten added nine points apiece with Sam Schudel contributed seven.

Ramstein won Friday’s opening game behind an 18-point effort from point guard Jerod Little. Johnson went for 15 in that game to pace Stuttgart, while Crouch posted 10 points in that game as well.

Vicenza 33/27, Rota 30/49: At Rota, the host Admirals shook off a Friday loss with a runaway victory a day later.
