In Zolwer/Scheierhaff, FLBB U14 (U14) controlled the friendly from the tip and defeated Musel Pikes (MUS) 85-69. The hosts set the tone with a 22-17 first quarter and pushed the margin to 47-34 at halftime, then delivered the decisive stretch after the break with a 19-11 third quarter to lead 66-45. The largest gap reached 21 points early in the fourth before Musel trimmed it late.
The game revolved around 1 (U14), who poured in 55 points and repeatedly punished the defense both at the rim and from distance. He opened the night with three straight baskets for an 8-2 start and later hit multiple threes to steady every Musel push. Support came from 2 (U14) with 19 points, keying several third- and early fourth-quarter answers that kept the lead comfortable. 3 (U14) added 6 and 5 (U14) chipped in 5.
Musel leaned on BEN (MUS) with 18 points and MARVIN (MUS) with 13. OLIVIER (MUS) contributed 8, including a sequence of four made free throws in the first quarter and back-to-back field goals in the fourth. JADEN (MUS) had 9 and hit a late three, but collected four fouls and had to navigate foul trouble after halftime. SAM (MUS) added 8, JASON (MUS) 6, ELIJA (MUS) 4 and JEAN MICHEL (MUS) 3.
Key moments: U14's surge to start the third stretched the cushion from +13 to beyond twenty, and every Musel timeout Coach EL BASRI Hichem stopped play at 7' of Q2 and again early in Q3 could only briefly slow the hosts. Late, BEN (MUS) strung together three free throws in a row and OLIVIER (MUS) added consecutive baskets as Musel won the fourth 22-19, but U14 consistently replied through 1 (U14) and 2 (U14) to close it out. No player fouled out.
