Luis Arias (1998) had a very impressive game in the last round for Forza and that's him to receive a Hoops Agents Liga Metropolitana Player of the Week award for round 5.
The 25-year old had a double-double of 14 points and 23 rebounds, while his team beat Litegua (#6, 1-4) 73-64. Forza maintains the 4th position in Guatemalan Liga Metropolitana. Forza is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 2-3 record. In the team's last game Arias had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. It was one of impressive evenings for him as usually he does not deliver so high stats. Arias has impressive league stats. He leads league in rebounds with 11.0rpg. Arias

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young former international swingman Miguel Gonzalez (187-G/F-1990) of league's best team Halcones. Gonzalez impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 27 points and 11 rebounds. Of course Halcones cruised to a 72-62 relatively comfortable win over slightly lower-ranked PSN (#3, 3-2). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Halcones consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. A very good start of the season for his team, which won so far all 5 games without any defeat. Gonzalez is one of the most experienced players at Halcones and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.0ppg (#7). He also registered 8.5 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Alejandro De Leon (F-2003) of PSN (#3). De Leon scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Despite De Leon's great performance the PSN lost 62-72 to #1 ranked Halcones. But his team cannot count on just a single player as he also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing PSN needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 3 victories and 2 lost games. De Leon has a great season in Guatemala. After only 2 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 15.0ppg (8th best), rebounds with 10.5rpg (2nd best) and assists with 3.0apg (4th best).
