Caleb Gaskins wins King of the Court
King of the Court is the one-on-one portion of Jam Fest. It is a round-robin, one-on-one setting where a player stays on the floor by scoring or by getting a stop.
Missouri commit Jason Crowe Jr. won the boys 3-point contest, and Kentucky signee Emily McDonald won the girls contest before beating Crowe in the boys-vs.-girls shootout to claim the overall 3-point title. Alabama commit Jaxon Richardson won the dunk contest.
The McDonald's All American dunk contest has been part of the event since 1987, and the boys 3-point shootout dates to 1989. Former Miami Hurricane Jalil Bethea won the dunk contest in 2024.
Gaskins is the seventh McDonald's All-American to commit to Miami, joining Darius Rice, Tito Horford, Lonnie Walker IV, Steve Edwards, Dewan Hernandez and Bethea.
