The Pinelands Regional football program hasn’t been in the NJSIAA playoffs since 2004, the only time in its history the Wildcats scored a playoff victory. Their other two appearances, including their first in 2002, were losses to West Deptford.

Today’s Wildcats appear to be on a collision course with that history.

After giving up just six points in its first game of the season, Pinelands scored its fourth straight shutout on Sept.
