Ezra McKenna has been named the ASWA Small College Athlete of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association.
Mobile's Ezra McKenna reacts to a 3-pointer against South Alabama in the first half of a basketball game Monday, Nov. 6, 2023, at the Mitchell Center in Mobile, Ala. Ezra McKenna made it easy for Southern States Athletic Conference officials to select the league’s men’s basketball Player of the Year. The University of Mobile junior won the SSAC’s Player of the Week award eight times this past season, including five weeks in a row.
“The one thing I remember is there were like four of five consecutive weeks of winning the Player of the Week award,” Mobile head coach Darnell Archey said. “He won the second one and then the third one and all the players started joking around with him, saying just name the award after him for crying out loud. Name it the Ezra McKenna Award. After he had a 36 and 12 game everyone was like, well, he’s going to win it again.
“I think I just got more comfortable in our system this year,” he said of his success. “My freshman year I had just transferred and I joined a team that had already been together for half a season. Those same guys were still on the team my sophomore year and I was still kind of adjusting then, too. Something kind of clicked this year and I got used to the system and how coach Archey likes for things to be done.
