Deja Bullock has scored more than 1,000 points and grabbed 1,000-plus rebounds in her career at Triton. All she wants to do now is win.
Shortly after signing her letter of intent to attend La Salle University on a basketball scholarship, Triton Regional High School senior Deja Bullock spoke about her what she wanted to accomplish during her senior season.

They were talking and the coach was saying he liked (my) size and that (I) played through the whole game,” Bullock said. After a few more conversations, La Salle found a whole lot more of Bullock's game to like. Flanked by her …
