The Pirates' women's basketball team is poised for another playoff run as the season approaches its final four weeks of the regular season. A big reason behind the team's success is first year guard Sam McKenzie. The Oxnard High School product, who is also a standout track and field athlete at VC, is averaging 13.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and a team best 2.4 steals per game for Ventura, who is off to a 3-1 start in Western State Conference play. In last week's narrow defeat at Moorpark, McKenzie netted 22 points to lead the Pirates. She followed that up with a seven-point, eight-rebound performance in VC's victory over LA Pierce. For her efforts this past week and all season, Sam is this week's VC Pirate Student Athlete of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
