Torrelodones is a small city 30 km from Madrid with a population of 30000 people. Its basketball team is at fifth division (1a Nacional), but enough interesting to write some lines about it. His coach is serbian Darko Rajakovic, and is trying to promote the team to EBA (4th division) with a very young group of prospects. Actually they are fighting at the top positions of the standings, and last week-end they beat Eurocolegio Casvi with the youngsters shining in good level. This is the way. Let's take a look to some interesting names of the roster:

-Jonas Bergstedt ('91) -at the pic-: the 2.07 danish center is one of the best prospects of his country. Last summer he played with his U-18 NT the Division "B" EC of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), finishing in 14th position. Bergstedt finished as the second best scorer of his team (13.6) only behind scoring-machine Thomas Laerke ('91), actually at Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nevada). He was the third best tournament rebounder (10.2). Last season he was playing in his country, in Horsholm 79ers.

-Marko Loncovic ('91): power-forward from Montenegro who signed from Red Star youth teams. He also played with his NT last Division "B" EC at Sarajevo, finishing only one step from the promotion to top division. He scored 7.0 points and pulled down 4.6 rebounds in only 16'.

-Filip Samojlovic ('90): the serbian point-guard signed some days ago from Mornar Bar (Montenegro). In Balkan League at senior level he was averaging 5.1 points and 0.8 assists in 13'. In his first game with Torrelodones (last week-end) he nailed 16 points, adding 3 steals.
