Guard Mateusz Bessman (184-G-1999) had a very impressive game in the last round for Pisz, receiving a Hoops Agents 2Liga Player of the Week award for round 25.
The 22-year old player got a double-double of 29 points and 11 assists, while his team edged out Hutnik W-wa (#7, 12-12) 82-80. Pisz maintains the 14th position in their group in Polish 2Liga.

Malachowski had a very good evening with a double-double of 28 points and 17 rebounds. Bad luck as Miedzychod was edged by the lower-ranked Ogniwo Szcz. (#7, 10-12) 85-83. Miedzychod managed to keep the same second spot in Group A. His team’s 18-5 record is not bad at all.

Third on the list of top players last round was center Szymon Milczynski (204-C-1993) of league’s top team Rydzyna. Milczynski scored 21 points and grabbed thirteen rebounds (!!!).
