Pasadena City College two-year letterman forward Jordan Simpson and transfer sophomore forward Chris Blount were selected to the 11-player, 2018-2019 All-South Coast Conference North Division Men's Basketball Team.

PCC capped its best season in five years with a 17-12 overall record, a third place finish in the SCC North, and a playoff home game for the first time since 2004. 

Simpson averaged 8.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in the regular season and was second in the state in blocked shots average at 3 per game. Blount was the team leader in both points (13.8 average) and rebounds (8.4).

Also picking up All-SCC honorable mentions were sophomores in guards Giovonni Jackson, Josiah Woods and Chris Odionu. Woods became the 72nd member in PCC men's basketball history of the 500-point club. His 505 career points places him 69th on the Lancers All-Time Scoring List. 

The players were guided by PCC head coach Michael Swanegan.
