Power forward Jose Peralta (202-F/C-1995) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Racing de Chivilcoy, receiving a Hoops Agents La Liga Argentina Player of the Week award for round 43.
The 28-year old player was the main contributor (32 points, eight rebounds) to his team's victory, helping them to beat Pergamino (#12, 12-15) 96-87. Racing maintains the 2nd position in their group in the Argentinian La Liga Argentina. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Racing will need more victories to improve their 22-16 record. In the team's last game Peralta had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range. He turned to be Racing's top player in his first season with the team. Jose Peralta averages this season 14.8ppg and 5.7rpg.

The second best player in last round's games was young Juan Luis Abeiro (200-C/F-1988) of Atletico Juventud Florentino Ameghino. Abeiro had a very good evening with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Bad luck as Ameghino lost that game 75-81 to the higher-ranked Villa Mitre (#5, 17-12). Despite lost game Ameghino moved up to 11th position in Conferencia Sur. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 12-14 record. Abeiro is one of the most experienced players at Ameghino and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was Franco Pennacchiotti (205-C/F-1990) of Villa Mitre de Bahia Blanca (#5). Pennacchiotti scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Villa Mitre, leading his team to a 81-75 win against the lower-ranked Ameghino (#11, 12-14). Villa Mitre needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in Conferencia Sur. Their record at this point is 17 victories and 12 lost games. Pennacchiotti has a great season in Argentina. After 29 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.8ppg (best scorer) and rebounds with 13.0rpg (#1 in league).
