Cayden Boozer was named the Chipotle Nationals MVP, and it was not a surprise. The Duke signee sealed a final spot for the Explorers over Brewster Academy with a buzzer-beater. Then, he went on to drop 27 points on 9-of-14 shooting in the final against Monteverde.

Cameron Boozer was also as good as his brother. In fact, he could have easily won MVP. The five-star recruit put up 25 points against Wasatch Academy in the quarterfinals. Then, he contributed 15 points in the semifinal before scoring 11 in the final.

Jaxon Richard from Columbus High School also made the list.

Second-placed Dynamic Prep was well represented. The program was the surprise package of the Chipotle Nationals, as it reached the final in its first appearance in the competition.
