San Bernardino Valley College Football sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Gibbs (Rancho Cucamonga Los Osos) and sophomore offensive tackle De'Arius Young (Cincinnati, OH Princeton) were both named Region IV All-California First Team Offense by the JC Athletic Bureau and the California Community College Football Coaches Association (CCCFCA).

Under first-year coach John Shipp, SBVC finished with a record 6-4 overall and 4-3 in conference. SBVC started the season 2-0, but lost three of the next four games in hard fought contests that could have gone either way and in the end, SBVC was just a game out of returning to a bowl game. As a reward for their winning record, the team was bestowed with two first team All-Mountain Conference honors and six second team All-Mountain Conference honors.

On the field, Gibbs led the way for SBVC, being named Region IV All-California first team offense and a unanimous selection to first team offense as the top receiver in touchdowns (12) and in yards per game (94.8). His best game of the year was at home against San Diego Mesa, where he found the end zone three times and torched the Olympians secondary for 206 yards on nine catches. Gibbs also had 100+ yard reception games against Compton and East L.A. In week eight versus San Diego Mesa, Gibbs grabbed the Mountain Conference Player of the Week honors for his nine catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns, with a long of 57 yards.

Also being named Region IV All-California first team offense and first team offense was Young who helped anchor an offensive line that only surrendered 37 sacks.
