27-year old American guard Jeremy Agosto (177-G-1997) put on an amazing game in the last round for Club de Baloncesto Cojute and receives a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 7.
He had the game-high 40 points adding seven rebounds and six assists for Cojute in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Salvadorenos (#5, 3-4) 83-79. Cojute maintains the 4th position in Salvadorean Liga MB. They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Cojute will need more victories to improve their 5-2 record. In the team's last game Agosto had a remarkable 68.4% 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 in league's top in points (3rd best: 27.6ppg) and averages solid 2.6spg and 62.6% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Marcus Millien (188-G-2000) of Brujos Izalco. He is American guard in his first season at Brujos. In the last game Millien recorded an impressive double-double of 27 points and 10 rebounds. Of course he led Brujos to another comfortable win outscoring Ahuachapan (#10, 0-6) 102-79. Despite this victory Brujos slide down in the standings to 6th position. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-4 record. Millien is a newcomer at Brujos and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 22.5ppg (#6). His other stats are also decent: 9.3rpg and 4.0apg.

Third place about best performers goes to another Brujos' star - Oliver Ferrerira. Ferrerira got into 30-points club by scoring 33 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and five assists. He was another key player of Brujos Izalco, helping his team with a 102-79 easy win against Ahuachapan (#10, 0-6). The chances of Brujos ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 4 games, recording just three victories. With bigger assistance of his teammates, Ferrerira could help Brujos to bring them higher in the standings. Ferrerira has a great season in El Salvador. After only 6 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.7ppg (4th best) and assists with 4.5apg (8th best).

4. Yoel Cubillas (204-F-1994) of Metapan - 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists
5. Freddy Asprilla (206-C-1988) of Ahuachapan - 16 points and 25 rebounds
