Kevin Garcia

Kevin Garcia (96) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's leader Villa Nueva and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 13.
The 25-year old had a double-double of 33 points and twenty four rebounds, while his team beat Halcones (#2, 7-1) 78-72. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Villa Nueva to jump to the first place in the Guatemalan Liga Metropolitana. Villa Nueva have a solid 8-2 record. Garcia turned to be Villa Nueva's top player in his first season with the team. Garcia has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (3rd best: 16.1ppg) and averages solid 63.0% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 33-year old forward Alejandro Carrillo (192-F-88) of FORZAFRZ. Carrillo impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 21 points and 17 rebounds. Bad luck as Forza was edged by slightly higher-ranked Amatitlan (#3, 5-3) 68-66. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Forza still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. His team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-6 record. Carrillo is a newcomer at Forza and it seems he did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was Eliezer Barrot of AMATITLANAMT (#3). Barrot scored 25 points and grabbed six rebounds. He was a key player of Amatitlan, leading his team to a 68-66 win against #4 ranked Forza. Amatitlan needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 5 victories and 3 lost games. Barrot has a very solid season. In 4 games in Guatemala he scored 10.3ppg.
