U16 - Scolaires - Bascharage Hedgehogs

First-ranked Kordall Steelers controlled most of this opening Phase 1 game and beat fourth-ranked Bascharage Hedgehogs 101-51, but the start was not one-sided. Bascharage, coached by Dejan Pavlovic, opened with a 6-3 lead through Flavio Bogatu (BAS) and Auric Kirsch (BAS). The game then swung hard: KDS answered with a 20-0 run to 23-6 and never gave back the initiative.

That first break was driven above all by Mahé Schmitz (KDS), who scored Kordall's first 17 points of the evening and finished with 44. Bascharage still had a strong response in the second quarter. From 10-29, the home team put together a 9-0 run to cut the gap to 19-29, with Bogatu and Kirsch carrying the offense. Bascharage won that period 22-20 and went into halftime down 32-47.

Bogatu (BAS) was the main scorer for the Hedgehogs with 23 points, Kirsch added 14, and Andy Chierici (BAS) contributed 6. Bogatu also picked up two personal fouls in a row in the first quarter.

The third quarter decided the rest of the contest. Julien Bordonne's team restarted with four straight points, moved to 51-32, and then widened the margin steadily. Schmitz kept scoring, while Jayson Otiu (KDS) added 19 and Rishit Bhandari (KDS) 17. KDS won the third quarter 29-9 to build a 76-41 lead.

The visitors kept that momentum in the last period with an 8-0 run to 84-41. Ryan Da Silva (KDS) added 8 points and Charles Pelt (KDS) had 6. The highest lead reached 50 points at the final 101-51.
