King had a fantastic freshman campaign, as the only Vaquero to start all 28 games for SBCC. King averaged a double-double on the year at 18 points and 11.6 rebounds per game. King also averaged 1.5 blocks, and 1.9 steals a contest, while shooting 44.2% from the floor. King is just the third WSC MVP in Santa Barbara's history, and is the first since the 2006 season.
McClurkin meanwhile, led his Condor crew to a 15-9 overall record and 8-4 mark in WSC North play, good for a second place finish. It was their best finish since 2010 when the Condors went 14-11, and their most wins since 1996, when they went 19-12. It's his first Coach of the Year award as a Women's Basketball Head Coach, and his third overall having won twice as a Men's Basketball Head Coach.
