The 23-year old player had a double-double of 38 points and 13 rebounds, while his team crushed Leones (#5, 1-5) with 16-point margin 95-79. Forza is placed at 3rd position in Guatemalan Liga Metropolitana. Forza 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 4-4 record. In the team's last game Reyes had a remarkable 78.6% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 6 attempts.

The second best player in last round's games was young David Monterroso (180-PG-1979) of league's second-best Halcones. Monterroso had a very good evening with a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds. Of course he led Halcones to another comfortable win outscoring slightly lower-ranked USAC (#4, 4-4) 87-50. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Halcones consolidated its place in top 2 of the standings. His team's 5-2 record is not bad at all. Monterroso is a newcomer at Halcones, but is already one of team's top players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 23.0ppg (#2). He also registered 7.7 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Forza's star - guard Anthony Guerra (178-PG-1997).

He was another key player of Forza, helping his team with a 95-79 easy win against slightly lower-ranked Leones (#5, 1-5). Forza needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 4 lost games. Guerra has a great season in Guatemala.
