Puerto Rican Forward Xavier Zambrana (193-F-1991) had a great game in the last round for MC El Brasil Santa Ana, receiving a Hoops Agents Liga MB Player of the Week award for round 19.
The 34-year old player recorded a triple-double of 23 points adding also 19 rebounds and 12 assists, while his team outclassed Santiagueno (#10, 2-13) with 53-point margin 125-72. Santa Ana maintains the 6th 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 8-8 record. In the team's last game Zambrana had a remarkable 63.6% from 2-point range. He turned to be Santa Ana's top player in his first season with the team. Xavier Zambrana has solid league stats. He is in league's top in points (8th best: 21.9ppg) and rebounds (2nd best: 21.0rpg).

The second best player in last round's games was American Kordell Brown (203-F) of Ahuachapan BC. Brown had a very good evening with a double-double of 34 points and 17 rebounds. Bad luck as Ahuachapan lost that game 92-101 to the higher-ranked Independiente (#5, 8-7). Ahuachapan is still second from the bottom in the standings. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 5-10 record. Brown is a newcomer at Ahuachapan, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.5ppg (#4). He also registered 14.2 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Santa Ana's star - Guatemalan guard Lee Vasquez (173-PG). Vasquez got into 30-points club by scoring 51 points in the last round. He went also for seven rebounds and seven assists. He was another key player of MC El Brasil Santa Ana, helping his team with a 125-72 easy win against the lower-ranked Santiagueno (#10, 2-13). Santa Ana needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 8 victories and 8 lost games. Vasquez has a great season in El Salvador. After only 9 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 30.0ppg (best scorer) and assists with 6.6apg (2nd best). He also has 2.4spg, a FGP of 55.1% and 3PT: 43.7%.
