Most coaches and high school squads would be more than happy to have a season like the one the Southern Regional High School girls volleyball team had in 2015. The girls went 18-11, earned the 10-seed in the 32-team New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association State Group 4 Tournament, and advanced to the round of 16. But coach Eric Maxwell and his Southern Regional volleyball teams aren’t most coaches and most squads.

Maxwell has coached Southern’s girls team for 14 years, racking up a 368-87 record.
