Until now, the all-time performance record belonged to Deimantas Pavlovskis, who in 2018. In November, wearing the Vilnius Rivile jersey, he scored 55 points in the Prienai Club bag.
The record set by the 177cm tall defender has been maturing for some time. During the last five games, including the record ones, Fominas has exceeded the limit of 40 points on 3 occasions, and Vilkakalnis’ average of talent points in the last 5 games is 37.4.
Along with this space show, Fomin, who grew up in the Capital Basketball School (SKM) system, broke a total of 4 records this season: points scored, 3-point hits, fouls provoked and utility points.
While Friday night was truly special for Fomin, her impressive performance was not enough to bring her victory. “Vilkakalnis” in the first match of the series of sixteen finals with up to 2 wins 85: 101 (27:18, 20:32, 27:27, 11:24) were breathless against team Gargždai-2, who only have one victory before the eighth final.

Fight for a ticket to the eighth final and survival in the elite division
This weekend TOPsport – RKL in Division A “Kretinga” (20-6) 86:75 won the victory over Raseiniai (18-8) and 75:89 they were forced to recognize the advantage of Kėdainiai SC “Ateitis” (15-10). Still, victories against Raseiniai’s table neighbors were enough for the Kretinga team led by Arimantas Mikaločius to secure a direct ticket to the quarterfinals. This privilege is awarded to the 4 strongest teams in the regular season. A place in the quarterfinals, where up to 3 victories will be fought, was secured a week ago by season leader Vilnius Rivile (22-5).
For the remaining 2 innings to the quarterfinals, avoiding the final eighth stage, the persistent fight continues.
Currently, the men of Raseiniai (18-8) are already in third place, and the Olympian men of Plungė (18-10) are in fourth place. In the next two weekends, that is, until the end of the Division A regular season, Tauragė (16-10) and Ateitis (15-10) are the most realistic attempts to take the places of the mentioned teams. Akmene d. Patriots-Cement (13-12) and Kaunas District. Omega (12-12).
No less interesting is the fight for the 12th position, which provides the opportunity to participate in the eighth final of TOPsport-RKL. Prienai CBet-KKSC (9-18) is now in the border area. The students of Paulius Ivanauskas, who had difficulty finding victories throughout the season, announced the maximum mobilization last weekend and obtained 2 victories of the same number. Prieniškiai 91:81 dealt with Panevėžys Bangene-Aivera (4-22) and 104: 84 defeated the Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) basketball players (14-14).
Still, Prienai’s team is far from safe. Prienai still has matches with students from Kaunas and Omega Technological University (KTU) (11-15). Olimpas de Ukmergė (9-18), who have the same ratio, are on the heels of Prieniiai, and LCC International University (7-16) and LSU-Atletas (6-19), who have played a few fewer games, have also your ambitions.
LSU-Athlete has won 6 wins in the last 10 games and 2 of 4 losses by just 1 point.
Edo Nickus students, trying to stay in Division A and fight for the playoffs, still have 5 games left to play. The confrontation between LSU-Atleto and LCC students, which will take place in Kaunas next Saturday, could turn into a key match.
At the time, Bangenė-Aivera, who has 4 more games left to play this season, has only theoretical hopes of remaining in Division A. It is necessary for the youth of Panevėžys to win all the remaining meetings and expect favorable results from other arenas. .
