27-year old guard Stella Lunkuse (G-1998) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for UPDF Lady Tomahawks and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 8.
She had a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds, while her team beat Peal Queens (#8, 2-3) 41-31. Tomahawks is placed at 3rd position in Ugandan NBL. They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Tomahawks will need more victories to improve their 4-2 record. In the team's last game Lunkuse had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range. It's her second year at Tomahawks and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Lunkuse has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 12.0rpg), assists (8th best: 3.3apg) and averages solid 3.5spg.

Second best performed player last round was Shadiah Nassanga of Just Kip Living Lady Dolphins. She is a in her second season at Lady Dolphins. In the last game Nassanga recorded an impressive 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course she led Lady Dolphins to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Miracle (#9, 2-4) 81-60. This victory allowed Lady Dolphins to move up to 4th position in the standings. Her team's 3-1 record is not bad at all. Nassanga is well-known at Lady Dolphins and she already established her position as one of the team's leaders.

Third place about best performers goes to Alice Isoto (2000) of Miracle Eaglets (#9). Isoto showcased her all-around game by recording 5 points, 15 rebounds (!!!) and 7 assists in the last round. Despite Isoto's great performance the Miracle lost 60-81 to the higher-ranked Lady Dolphins (#4, 3-1). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. The chances of Miracle not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 4 games, recording just two victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Isoto could try to bring Miracle's a little bit higher in the standings. Isoto has a very solid season. In 5 games in Uganda she scored 7.0ppg.
