Franco Pennacchiotti (205-C/F-1990) had an amazing evening in the last round for Villa Mitre de Bahia Blanca, receiving a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 21.
The 33-year old player was the main contributor (28 points, nine rebounds) to his team's victory, helping them to edge out Racing (#4, 9-7) 80-76. Villa Mitre is placed at 7th position in Argentinian La Liga Argentina. Villa Mitre is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 8-7 record. Pennacchiotti turned to be Villa Mitre's top player in his first season with the team. Franco Pennacchiotti has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 18.1ppg) and averages impressive 51.8% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was Santiago Costa of Gimnasia y Esgrima y Pedernera Unidos San Luis. Costa had a very good evening with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Bad luck as GEPU was edged by slightly higher-ranked San Isidro (#6, 8-5) 76-72. This loss caused GEPU to drop to 8th position in Conferencia Norte. His team lost some distance to top teams. But a 8-6 record is not bad and everything may still change. Costa is well-known at GEPU and is a proven leader in his second season with the team.

Third on the list of top players last round was center Ramiro Trebucq (205-C-1995) of Atletico Echague Parana (#14). Trebucq scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Despite Trebucq's great performance the Echague lost 68-78 to the higher-ranked Independiente (#10, 6-7). But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates. Echague can only dream about fighting for top spots in Conferencia Norte. They have rather bad season and 3-11 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Trebucq has a very solid season. In 3 games in Argentina he scored 10.3ppg.
