Army National Guard Main Event Standouts Pt.1


Year two of the Army National Guard Main Event came back bigger and better, featuring 23 Top-150 players across all high school classes. The players and programs who participated in this year's action showcased passion and positivity throughout the whole event. With that in mind, MADE highlights some players who left a lasting impression: 


Mason Fuentes | 2027 G I Riviera Prep: 

Mason Fuentes exuded elite shot making from a live dribble. Cerebral in his approach, often looking for ways to create angles and manipulate ball screens to get a good look off in the mid-range area. Tough shot maker who can also create for others with the attention he draws as a scoring threat.


Jeremy Jenkins | 2027 F I Riviera Prep: Physical forward Jeremy Jenkins used his functional strength and wide shoulders to score inside as a back to basket threat, or executing quick rip and go moves to get downhill. Jenkins looked to put pressure on the defense every time he touched the ball and backed up his lofty ranking in the process.


Gustavo Guimarães | 2025 C I Riviera Prep: Seven-foot Brazilian big-man Gustavo Guimarães was the unsung hero for Riviera Prep’s success, holding the paint down defensively. He pursued every rebound that bounced in his vicinity and was extremely effective as a rim protector with his verticality. Offensively, he managed to use his frame to counter the length of the SoCal Academy front court. 


Kelvin Odih | 2025 W I SoCal Academy: 

West Virginia commit Kelvin Odih had the highest motor out of any player to take the floor over the weekend. In SoCal’s opening matchup on Friday, Odih posted a double-double in just the first-half. He consistently made plays on both ends of the floor whether it was steals, dunks, deflections, put-backs, or hard basket-cuts. 


Alexandros Alexakis | 2025 W I SoCal Academy: 

The six-foot-five wing provided some offensive firepower for a team that struggled to score. He is a big guard who can shoot it well, and got to his spots with a slick handle. He played well off of Odih and shined as secondary scorer.


Christian Gurdak | 2025 C I Gonzaga: 

He was the difference maker for Gonzaga, as Christian Gurdak averaged 21.5 points and 11.5 rebounds in two games. The Virginia Tech commit was too much inside for opposing bigs, excelling at throwing his weight around and leveraging deep post position to seal defenders. Gurdak’s activity around the rim was noteworthy, often giving second and third efforts on the offensive glass. 


Trey Maddox | 2025 W I Oak Ridge: Stephen F. Austin commit Trey Maddox was one of the best shot makers on display at the Army National Guard Main Event. Maddox connected on five three-point baskets in one showing, impacting the game with his catch and shoot ability from long range. 


Zay Mosley | 2025 F I Oak Ridge: 

Ohio commit Zay Mosley displayed an advanced level of multilevel scoring and rebounding from the forward position. Mosley’s ability to crash the offensive glass was major for the Pioneers, cashing in on multiple second chance opportunities. His versatility on defense also made it easy for his team to guard the perimeter and limit the dribble penetration. 


Alex Touomou | 2025 F I Gonzaga: 

Harvard commit Alex Touomou is the glue guy for Steve Turner and his Gonzaga group. Touomou does a little bit of everything on the floor, while always taking on the challenge of guarding opposing teams’ best scorers or bigger wings. He made some big shots off the catch down the stretch of close games, played big on the glass and showcased his high-flying capabilities as a weak-side cutter. 


Alex Lloyd | 2025 G I Westminster: 

Westminster guard Alex Lloyd could make a strong case for the most explosive scoring performance we saw take place at the Army National Guard Main Event, tallying 36 points for his team in a loss. Lloyd scored 22 of his team's 33 first half points, displaying elite creation off the bounce and the ability to elevate over closing defenders when creating separation.
