American Jeremy Agosto (177-G-1997) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's leader Cojute and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 10.
The 26-year old guard recorded a triple-double of 44 points adding also ten rebounds and thirteen assists, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Chalchuapa (#9, 0-8) with 40-point margin 126-86. It allowed Cojute to consolidate first place in the Salvadorean Liga MB. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is already in a full swing and Cojute still have not lost a single game, getting all 9 victories. In the team's last game Agosto had a remarkable 56.0% from 2-point range. He turned to be Cojute's top player in his first season with the team. Agosto has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 37.6ppg and is league's best passer with 9.4apg. Agosto is in league's top in and averages solid 2.6spg,60.0% FGP and 43.2% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Puerto Rican swingman Miguel Velez (185-G/F-1997) of Chalchuapa. Velez impressed basketball fans with 44 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Bad luck as Chalchuapa lost that game 86-126 to league's leader Cojute (#1, 9-0). Chalchuapa are still at the very bottom. 8 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Velez is a newcomer at Chalchuapa and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 30.0ppg (#3). His other stats are also decent: 7.9rpg and 5.0apg.

The third best performed player last round was Puerto Rican Xavier Zambrana (193-PF-1991) of Metapan (#5). Zambrana got into 30-points club by scoring 31 points in the last round. He went also for eleven rebounds . Despite Zambrana's great performance Metapan lost 81-85 to slightly higher-ranked Brujos (#4, 5-3). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Metapan needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 5 victories and 4 lost games. Zambrana has a great season in El Salvador. After only 8 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 24.3ppg (9th best).
