Compton reaches the postseason for the first time in eight years when it advanced to the SoCal Regional Finals before losing to East Los Angeles. This is also the first time Compton finished above .500 in the regular season since that 27-5 SCC South championship year of 2016-17. 

Also making the All-SCC South First Team was sophomore guard Jordan English, who is averaging 11.4 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest. 

SCC Honorable Mentions went to Rey Daniels, Elijah Evans, and Kentrell Freeman.
