Maplewood is the most successful girls volleyball program in District 10.
The Lady Tigers traditionally make a lengthy journey through the postseason.
Five of those trips, in fact, have ended with Maplewood and head coach Sheila Bancroft hoisting state championship trophies.
That won’t happen this year.

Maplewood jumped out to a two-set advantage and look well on its way to another D-10 semifinal appearance. North East had other plans, however, as the Grapepickers rallied to win the next three sets 25-22, 25-17, 15-12, respectively, to put an abrupt end to the Tigers’ season.
Maplewood ends the year at 11-6. North East is now 9-8 and moves on to face Harbor Creek in the semifinals next week.
