Great Episode yall! Peace To The Jersey Legend, Dajuan Wagner. Of all The highschool records that he holds, one of them I feel speaks volumes about his greatnes. In Jersey, we have a tournament of champions, so you actually get a true state champion; But The Private schools have always dominated due to recruiting. Since Camden won the TOC in 2000, no other Public School has done so. It's a very strong possibility his Son follows in his footsteps and does the same.
