26-year old Dominican Rep. swingman Yenifer Jimenez (163-G/F-1999) had an amazing evening in the last round for league's best team Liga Municipal Monsenor Romero and receives a Hoops Agents Liga Mayor Player of the Week award for round 1.
She recorded a triple-double of 23 points adding also 16 rebounds and 12 assists, while her team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Ahuachapan (#5, 0-1) with 44-point margin 86-42. It allowed L.M.Mons. to take over top position in the Salvadorean league. But it's just the very beginning of the season and L.M.Mons. won just one (their first) game. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. Jimenez just recently signed at L.M.Mons. and it was her first game, where she immediately became new team's leader. Jimenez has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 23.0ppg and is league's best passer with 12.0apg. Jimenez is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 16.0rpg) and averages solid 2.0bpg.

Second best performed player last round was Rachel Contreras (184-C-1999) of league's second-best AD Isidro Metapan. She is Cuban center in her first season at Metapan. In the last game Contreras recorded an impressive double-double of 21 points and 21 rebounds. Of course she led Metapan to another comfortable win 70-51 over Santa Tecla (0-1) being unquestionably team leader. Her team has extremely good start of the season. They won their first game. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Contreras is one of the most experienced players at Metapan and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.0ppg (#3). She also registered 21.0 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to another L.M.Mons.'s star - Katherinne Rivas. Rivas scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of Liga Municipal Monsenor Romero, helping her team with a 86-42 easy win against Ahuachapan (#5, 0-1). L.M.Mons. has a very good start of the season. But there was just one game played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Rivas also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. The season just started for Rivas as she played only first game. But it already looks like she can be another team's leader.
