First-ranked BC Mess B stayed unbeaten and controlled this M-U16 Division 6 game from the first quarter on, beating fifth-ranked AS Soleuvre B 79-33. Luke Davis' team is now on a four-game winning streak, while Soleuvre B slipped one place to fifth.
The opening was still balanced at 4-4, but Mess B then produced the first decisive break: a 21-4 run to close the quarter at 25-8. Captain Eli Nosbusch, a 14-year-old guard, was central to that stretch and finished with 34 points, his season high, well above his 17.33 season average. He scored in bursts all evening and gave Mess constant offensive rhythm.
The second quarter removed most of the suspense. Charel Krings (Season PPG: 10.20) opened the period with 6 straight points, and Mess quickly turned 25-8 into 37-8. By halftime, the lead was already 47-15. Krings added 16 points, while Gabriel Da Fonseca Rocha (MESB) brought 11 and Liam Bach (Season PPG: 7.00) added 9.
The third quarter was the heaviest passage of the game at 24-4. After Soleuvre scored first in the period, Mess answered with a long 22-0 run and pushed the gap beyond 50 points. David Georgescu (MESB) finished with 5 points, while Mathis Alves Nunes (MESB) added 4.
Soleuvre showed better resistance in the last quarter, winning it 14-8. Sacha André Cabanel (MESB? correction: SOLB) was their main scorer with 12 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Liam Lopes (SOLB) scored 5, while Sam Omes, Louis Ferrai and Sriram Venkata Satagopam each added 4. For Pedro Jorge Escada Carvalho's side, Cabanel's late activity was the clearest positive phase after a very difficult middle section of the game.
