VHS Grad Named Player of the Week by NJAC

Vineland High School grad and basketball star DJ Campbell was named Player of the Week by the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) for the week ending December 4. Campbell is a junior guard for Stockton University and the reigning NJAC Player of the Year.

Campbell collects his first weekly honor of the season after leading Stockton to a pair of conference wins. He averaged 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.5 steals while adding a pair of assists and a blocked shot. He went 12-for-23 overall for a 52 percent clip, including shooting 4-for-9 from long range, and went 13-for-15 from the foul line. Campbell drained a team-high 27 points against Ramapo and added five steals and two boards while committing just a single turnover in 35 minutes. He followed up with 14 points, seven rebounds, and four more steals in a win over Rutgers-Camden.

Campbell currently leads the NJAC in both overall (21.9 points per game) and conference-only (23.3 ppg) scoring.
