Amicale Steesel overpowered Telstar Hesperange 94-44 at Holleschb2 (terrain 1) in the M-U16 Division 3 Phase 2 round-robin. Coach Thorsten Freiheit's team seized control immediately: after 2-2, Amicale closed the first quarter on a 23-5 run for 25-7. The foundation was in place and the lead never came under threat.
Telstar responded in the second through Jules André (9) and the Portuguese guard Gabriel Marques Dos Ramos (15), who finished with 11. But Amicale always had an answer. Belgian 15-year-old Andreas Nys (Season PPG: 20.3) strung together five straight points, including a triple, to steady the visitors before halftime (45-24). The third quarter belonged to Felix Engel (Season PPG: 24.0), who poured in 11 of his game-high 27 as the margin ballooned to 64-33. A 6-0 spurt early in the fourth capped by a Toni Wagener three pushed the gap to 80-35, and Amicale closed on their largest lead (50).
Amicale's scoring spread was comprehensive: Engel 27, Nys 20 (two threes), Vincent Segers (Season PPG: 17.4) 12, Bobby Kirsch (Season PPG: 18.0) 12, Theo Leong 8, Miguel Lopez Fernández (Season PPG: 8.7) 5, Max Schanck 5, Wagener 3, Lévi Muller 2. They amassed 78 points on two-pointers, 9 from beyond the arc and 7 at the line. Telstar were held without a made three, producing 40 points on twos and 4 free throws; Mathis Adehm (Season PPG: 8.4) had 9 before fouling out in the fourth, impacting Coach Uchenna Ohpani Agada's rotation.
Form and table context underline the gulf on the day: Amicale have won six of their last seven and sit 3rd (1-1, +42), while Telstar slip to 6th (0-2, -2 in ranking gain) and are on a two-game skid.
