Chase Berry
American Forward Chase Berry (198-F-1998) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Cojute, receiving a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 8.
The 24-year old player had a double-double of 35 points and 18 rebounds, while his team beat Metapan (#3, 4-1) 100-85. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Cojute is placed at 4th position in Salvadorean Liga MB. Cojute 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 3-3 record. In the team's last game Berry had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. He just recently signed at Cojute, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Former Utah Tech University star has very solid stats this year. Berry is in league's top in rebounds (5th best: 12.0rpg) and averages impressive 55.6% FGP.
The second best player in last round's games was young Nicaraguan Deikel Sanchez (G-1996) of Metapan. Sanchez had a very good evening with a double-double of 24 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Metapan lost that game 85-100 to slightly lower-ranked Cojute (#4, 3-3). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Metapan still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. It was just his team's 1st loss this season, while they won 4 other games. Sanchez is one of the most experienced players at Metapan and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.2ppg (#8). He also registered 13.4 boards per game.
Third on the list of top players last round was guard Marcus Feagin (193-G-1991) of Santa Ana (#9). Feagin scored 23 points and grabbed twenty rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Santa Ana, leading his team to a 96-89 win against the higher-ranked Santiagueno (#6, 2-3). The chances of Santa Ana not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Feagin could try to bring Santa Ana's a little bit higher in the standings. The season just started for Feagin as he played only first game. But it already looks like he can be team's leader.

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.
The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
