All-Tournament Team
MVP: Jensen Lee (Gulf Coast Warriors)
13.3 PPG • 3.7 RPG • 1.7 APG
The lefty guard put together one of the best shooting performances of the weekend, including 16 points in the championship game to lead Gulf Coast Warriors to the 16U title. Lee plays with tremendous poise, gets to his spots with pace, and is especially comfortable operating in the midrange. He has a fluid jumper, excellent body control attacking the lane, and consistently absorbs contact while finishing through defenders. His ability to create efficient offense in big moments was a major reason Gulf Coast finished as champions.
Cade Stewart (Gulf Coast Warriors)
13.5 PPG • 10.3 RPG • 2.5 APG
One of the most physically imposing frontcourt players in attendance, Stewart used his strong frame and length to control the painted area throughout the weekend. He consistently created second-chance opportunities, dominated the glass, and played through contact with toughness. He combines a high basketball IQ with unselfish passing, making smart reads out of the post while anchoring the defense. Stewart’s two-way presence was instrumental in Gulf Coast Warriors capturing the 16U championship.
Daeshawn Oba (Cincinnati Rockerz)

Kai Sutton (Texas Hoopsters Elite (TX))
9.3 PPG • 2.3 RPG • 1.8 APG
Dynamic scoring wing with size, athleticism, and advanced playmaking feel. He changes pace well, gets downhill with burst, and finishes effectively at the rim. Shows the ability to handle, create for others, and make shots—comfortable shooting even with a hand in his face. Strong all-around impact and upside.
Luis Rodríguez Rivera (Worldwide Soldiers (FL))
11.6 PPG • 3.4 RPG • 2.8 APG • 1.0 BPG
Poised scoring guard with a steady handle and strong feel operating in traffic. He consistently gets into the paint, plays through contact, and draws fouls at a high rate. Shows control with the ball and the ability to create scoring opportunities off the dribble.
Markel Boreland (Keystone Basketball Club)
11.8 PPG • 4.3 RPG
MJ Yeager (Gulf Coast Warriors)
13.3 PPG • 6.0 RPG • 1.7 APG
Physically tough, competitive combo guard. Operates comfortably with the ball, showing control getting into the lane and touch on floaters and interior finishes. Shot profile extends beyond the arc with confidence, and he can make shots off the catch or when creating space.
Ramdel Hernandez (Worldwide Soldiers (FL))
13.6 PPG • 2.6 RPG • 1.4 STL
High-energy lead guard who applies constant pressure getting downhill. He gets into the lane, draws help, and creates opportunities as the defense collapses. Plays with pace and keeps the defense on its heels.

All-Tournament Team
MVP: Ashton Maddix (C.Y.O.P. (MO))
10.6 PPG • 2.2 RPG • 1.6 APG
Maddix was the steady force behind C.Y.O.P.’s undefeated championship run, saving his best for the biggest stage with 15 points in the title game. The lefty guard controls pace and tempo with exceptional poise, rarely getting sped up while consistently making the right read. He creates separation with a polished pull-up jumper, gets into the painted area at will, and finishes creatively around bigger defenders. His ability to dictate the game and deliver in key moments made him the engine of the tournament champions.
