RICARDO GLENN
27-year old center Ricardo Glenn (202-C-90, agency: HMS) had a great game in the last round for league's best team U Atletica and receives a Interperformances Metropolitan Player of the Week award for round 4. He had a double-double of 19 points and 18 rebounds, while his team edged out Tabare (#12, 1-3) 75-72. It allowed U Atletica to take over top position in the Uruguayan Metropolitan. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. U Atletica has a very solid 3-1 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. Glenn just recently signed at U Atletica, being already a very valuable addition to the team. South Carolina Upstate graduate has very impressive stats this year. Glenn is in league's top in points (7th best: 20.0ppg) and averages solid 62.2% FGP.
Second best performed player last round was Gene Teague (206-C-89, agency: DTMones) of CAPITOL. He is American center in his first season at Capitol. In the last game Teague recorded impressive double-double of 25 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led Capitol to another comfortable win outscoring Auriblanco (#14, 0-4) 84-62. Capitol's 5th position in the standings has not changed. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 3-1 record is not bad and everything may still change. Teague is one of the most experienced players at Capitol and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 19.0ppg (#9). He also registered 8.0 boards per game.
Third place about best performers goes to center Dwayne Curtis (203-C-85) of O Mundial (#11). Curtis scored 20 points and grabbed fifteen rebounds (!!!). Despite Curtis' great performance O Mundial lost 72-79 to the higher-ranked Colon (#6, 3-1). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. O Mundial can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-3 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Too bad for Curtis he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Curtis has individually a great season in Uruguay. After only 4 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.3ppg (8th best) and rebounds with 14.0rpg (3rd best).
Other top performing players last week: 4. Jesse Hardin (188-G-93) of 25 de Agosto - 29 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists 5. Aaron Cosby (190-G-92) of Colon - 26 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists 6. Emiliano Serres (206-F-97) of Tabare - 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists 7. Luis De Leon (193-F-88) of Stockolmo - 24 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists 8. Christopher Gabriel (211-C-88) of Stockolmo - 19 points and 17 rebounds 9. Benjamin Puckett (205-C-83) of Bohemios - 15 points, 14 rebounds and 2 assists 10.

There were just four rounds played in Regular Season of Metropolitan and we can clearly see which teams will fight for top positions and which will try to avoid bottom places. The fans could enjoy quite many interesting games in the last round. The round ended with change at the leadership position, derby games, favorites losing the games and even winless team recording their first victory. Here is the last round review presented by ESL.
Metropolitan round 4 caused change at the leadership position. First defeat of league's leader Cordon (3-1) against seventh ranked 25 de Agosto (3-1) 70-67 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Cordon. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Strangely Cordon outrebounded 25 de Agosto 45-33 including 30 on the defensive glass. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Jesse Hardin (188-93, college: Walsh) who helped to win the game recording 29 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Forward Martin Rojas (197-98) contributed with 11 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Cristian Modernell replied with 14 points and 8 rebounds for Cordon. 25 de Agosto keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 6 other teams including defeated Cordon. Cordon will play next round against Lagomar trying to make it back to the top of the standings. It will be a derby game for which supporters look forward to, where their team will face at home their local rival from Montevideo - Lagomar. 25 de Agosto will try to continue on its current victory against fifth ranked Capitol. It will be extra interesting game as Capitol is their local rival from Montevideo. The game had a very big importance for third-ranked Union Atletica as it allowed them to take a leadership position after previous leader's (Cordon) loss. Union Atletica edged 11th ranked Tabare in Montevideo 75-72. Worth to mention a great performance of American center Ricardo Glenn (202-90, college: USC Upstate, agency: HMS) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 18 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and Salvador Zanotta who added 12 points and 7 assists during the contest. At the losing side forward Emiliano Serres (206-97) responded with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with 6 other teams. Tabare lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the tenth place with three games lost. They share the position with Larre Borges and O Mundial. Tabare will play next round against O Mundial trying to get back on the winning streak. Union Atletica will try to continue on its current victory against eighth ranked Stockolmo. It will be extra interesting game as Stockolmo is their local rival from Montevideo. Another interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Montevideo: Lagomar (#8) and Stockolmo (#7). Lagomar (3-1) won against visiting Stockolmo (2-2) 84-71. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Stockolmo. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The winners were led by Brian Moultrie who had that evening a double-double by scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds. Even a double-double of 19 points and 17 rebounds by Christopher Gabriel did not help to save the game for Stockolmo. Stockolmo's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Lagomar have a solid three-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with 6 other teams. Stockolmo at the other side dropped to the eighth place with two games lost. Lagomar's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Montevideo to the arena Cordon. Larre Borges' fans can celebrate the first win of their team after three consecutive losses. They used home court advantage to defeat Larranaga (0-3) 79-68. Joaquin Rodriguez fired 20 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Larranaga's coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Larre Borges (1-3) left bottom position moving up to tenth place, which they share with Tabare and O Mundial. It was Larranaga's third loss in a row. They still close the standings with three games lost. Larre Borges' next round opponent will be higher ranked Colon (#6) at home and it may be quite challenging game. Larranaga's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Montevideo Bohemios. Bottom-ranked Auriblanco is still unable to win any game. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their fourth consecutive match to fifth ranked Capitol (3-1) 84-62 on Friday evening. It was a very good performance for Gene Teague who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 25 points and 10 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field). The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Capitol keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 6 other teams. Loser Auriblanco still closes the standings with four games lost. Capitol's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Montevideo 25 de Agosto.
