Kordall Steelers B climbed to 2nd place in M-Division 3, a gain of eight spots, by beating Avanti Mondorf B 112-39 in Niederkuer. After their previous loss, coach Antonio Alexandre Bento dos Reis Pires got a strong response.
The opening minutes were the only balanced phase. MONB started 0-5 and still led 6-7, with Jeffrey Neyen (36, MONB) carrying the early scoring. KDSB then changed the pace with a 13-3 run to close the first quarter at 19-13.
The game broke open in the second period. From 25-20, KDSB finished the half on a dominant 26-4 stretch to reach 51-24. Djessi Fernandes da Conceicao (24, 1.85m) and Selmin Muric (24, 1.95m) were important in that sequence, while Max Schmit (34, 1.80m) added steady scoring. Fernandes da Conceicao also committed two personal fouls in a row in that quarter, but it did not slow KDSB.
The third quarter removed any suspense. After Fabio Rigo (19, 1.78m) opened with a three for MONB, KDSB answered with a 19-0 run to move from 51-27 to 70-27. Noah Zucca (23, 1.85m) finished with 20 points, Fernandes da Conceicao had 17, Ermin Babic (24, 1.83m) 16, Tomas Cerqueira Santos (18, KDSB) 14, and captain Raphael Felix Kemmer (26, 1.89m) 12. KDSB had seven players in double figures, and all nine players scored.
Mondorf, now 5th despite a two-place rise, got 16 points from Neyen, 10 from Rigo and 7 from Nebojsa Nikolic (MONB). The last quarter became even more one-sided: after Rigo made it 81-36, KDSB produced 28 unanswered points, with Kemmer scoring 8 in a row during that surge. The final margin, 73 points, was the highest lead of the night.
