Debbie Hudson

Debbie Hudson’s King City ties remain strong, then as a student-athlete and today as a coach. When Hudson attended King City High in the 1970s, cross-country, cheerleading and track were the only sports available for girls. Hudson participated in all three sports. Hudson was on the 1974 King City High track and field team that won the first CCS track and field championship. The Mustangs finished tied with Menlo-Atherton for first place. Hudson later became a girls volleyball coach, where the team has constantly been in contention for MTAL championships. In 1990, Hudson coached the Mustangs to the CCS Division II championship, defeating Santa Cruz, Aptos, Harbor and South San Francisco along the way. In the finals, King City rallied down a set and won the next three to beat South San Francisco. But they didn’t stop there. The Mustangs also won the Northern California championship and advanced to the state finals. The Mustangs have reached the CCS girls volleyball playoffs for more than 30 consecutive years, a county record.
