Gino Campiotti’s big gamble appears to be paying off. The 2018 Manteca High graduate scrapped a full-ride scholarship to an NCAA Division-I school to return home and play quarterback for Modesto Junior College. He has been named All-Valley League Offensive MVP after leading the Pirates (4-1, 7-3 overall) to a co-championship and No. 8 rankings in the California Community College Sports Information Association and JC Athletic Bureau coaches final regular-season state polls. “Honestly, at the time I didn’t really know how to take it, but it was kind of overwhelming,” Campiotti said of his reaction to learning about the latest honor.
