AS Soleuvre B opened M-U14 Division 7 with a 62-53 road win at BBC East Side Pirates B in Wasserbillig. The visitors led wire to wire: 11-9 after the first, stretched it to 32-25 at halftime, and kept a steady cushion through a 16-14 third and a balanced final quarter.
Key sequence before the break: Daris Visnjic (12 pts) strung together five points in a row (2+1+2) late in the second quarter to push Soleuvre to a nine-point margin. After halftime, Milo Léo Ferrai (17 pts, age 9) took over with a burst of mid-quarter scoring that repeatedly rebuilt the gap; Soleuvre's lead peaked at +13 (30-43) in the third and matched again in the fourth (43-56). Ferrai later fouled out, but coach Pedro Jorge Escada Carvalho's group closed it out.
For the Pirates, it was a two-man push. ECO Demir (20 pts, BEPB) and Quinn Kremer Schram (20 pts, BEPB) combined for 40 of the team's 53, with captain Edgar Charles Matti Ney adding 9. Kremer Schram authored a personal 6-point run in the second quarter to keep the hosts in touch.
Soleuvre offered broader support: Sam Omes (10 pts), Moreno Tomasini (9 pts, captain), Amil Suleyman Adrovic (8 pts), and Amadou Diallo (4 pts) complemented Ferrai and Visnjic. Dayan Akhtar (12, BEL) contributed with energetic stretches despite foul trouble. Coach Gilles Poos' Pirates stayed competitive but couldn't erase the mid-game deficits.
