American Guard Marcus Feagin (193-G-1991) had an amazing evening in the last round for Santa Ana, receiving a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 11.
The 31-year old player had a double-double of 27 points and 28 rebounds, while his team edged out Quezaltepeque (4-5) 103-99. Santa Ana is placed at 5th position in Salvadorean Liga MB. Santa Ana 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 4-5 record. Feagin just recently signed at Santa Ana, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Marcus Feagin has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (4th best: 23.8ppg) and averages impressive 41.7% from behind 3-point line.
The second best player in last round's games was young American Freddy Asprilla (206-C-1988) of Santiagueno. Asprilla had a very good evening with a double-double of 23 points and 24 rebounds. Bad luck as Santiagueno lost that game 87-93 to the lower-ranked Chalchuapa (#10, 1-8). Despite lost game Santiagueno moved up to 7th position in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-5 record. Asprilla is a newcomer at Santiagueno, but is already one of team's top players.
Third on the list of top players last round was American guard Gorg Alhag (190-SG-1997) of Chalchuapa (#10). Alhag scored 22 points and grabbed sixteen rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Chalchuapa, leading his team to a 93-87 win against the higher-ranked Santiagueno (#7, 3-5). Chalchuapa can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 1-8 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Alhag he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Alhag has individually a great season in El Salvador. After only 8 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 12.1rpg (8th best) and assists with 4.5apg (6th best). He also has 1.4bpg and FGP: 50.5%. Alhag attended one of camps at Eurobasket Summer League on his way to pro basketball.

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)
