The Pinelands Regional High School girls volleyball program has become a powerhouse. The school district’s board of education saluted the team’s success at its November meeting and had plenty of reasons to celebrate.

The varsity squad had won its third NJSIAA South Jersey sectional championship in five years. It ended up with a 27-4 record after losing in the state semifinal round, tying it for the most wins in the program’s relatively short history.
