Musel Pikes dismantled Kordall Steelers 108-46 in M-U14 Division 2 (Phase 1) at Stadtbredimus. After trailing 1-6, coach Hichem El Basri's team ignited a 28-2 surge to close the first quarter 33-8, a burst that set the tone. The second quarter was more balanced (19-18) with Kordall showing resistance, yet Musel still reached halftime up 52-26.
The third quarter removed all doubt. Musel opened after the break with a 10-0 run to 62-30 and won the frame 33-12. By the buzzer the largest lead stood at 62. Kordall's captain Jayson Otiu (KDS) kept his side on the board early and reached 12 points, but later fouled out in the fourth, which hurt any chance of stabilizing the defense.
Musel's scoring came in waves. Cédric Meyers (MUS, 12) led with 29 points built on 14 made 2-point field goals. Lex Flies (MUS) added 26, also with 12 makes from two. Jack Kemmer (MUS, 13) contributed 19 and converted 5 free throws, and there was ample support from Luca Gavazzi (MUS) and Adam Hammed (MUS) with 10 each; Jean Henri Fischer (MUS) chipped in 6. At key moments, Flies strung together multiple baskets during a third-quarter stretch, while Kemmer's late free throws helped keep the scoreboard ticking as Musel closed strong.
For Kordall, Adham Asfarelouldidi (KDS, 12, FRA) posted 11, including two triples; Ema Babacic (KDS) scored 7 and Lea Njia Nouemsi (KDS) 6. A brief second-period push (19 points in the quarter) was their best spell, yet Musel repeatedly answered with multi-basket runs. Notably, Charel Engel (MUS) drew three personal fouls in quick succession in Q2 without altering the overall momentum.
In the standings, Musel moves up to 4th (1-1, +1 position), bouncing back after an opening loss. Kordall sits 6th at 0-2. Coach Arnaud Stéphane Sirjean's Steelers are still searching for a first win.
