Telstar Hesperange controlled the second half to defeat Bascharage Hedgehogs 77-57 at holleschb2/terrain 2 in M-U16 Division 3 (Phase 1). Bascharage had the better start, edging the first quarter 18-15 and reaching halftime up 34-31 behind early scoring from Ilija Radojevic (14, SRB) inside and Viktor Pecirep's perimeter touch.
The game flipped right after the break. Telstar opened the third quarter with a 4-0 burst to take the lead, and Gabriel Marques dos Ramos (15, PRT) caught fire: a three, then multiple drives, powering a 22-13 quarter for a 53-47 cushion. Telstar then put the game away with a 10-0 run to start the fourth, featuring six straight points from Marques dos Ramos, pushing the gap to 63-47. The final margin of 20 was the night's highest lead for the hosts.
Telstar's scoring profile was clear: 31 made 2-point field goals (62 points), plus 4 threes and 3 free throws. That interior dominance told, with Mathis Adehm contributing 18 and consistent finishes, and Axel Hosten (13, FRA) spacing the floor with 3 triples for 15. Batu Polad added 12 in support.
Bascharage answered through Pecirep's 17 (including two threes), Radojevic's 14 at the rim, Tom Kruchten's 9 with a late three, and Samuel Louis Hobby's 8. However, Bascharage managed 20 made 2-pointers and 5 threes, and could not match Telstar's repeated conversions around the basket. Early whistles mattered: Hobby picked up two first-quarter fouls, and Radojevic had two in the opening period as well, tempering BAS's aggression.
Coach Uchenna Ohpani Agada's Telstar steadied after an opening loss (series: loss, win) and climbs to 2nd in the standings (2 GP, 1-1). Coach William Jacques Guenfissi's Bascharage sits 3rd (2 GP, 1-1).
