WAYNE -- The Northern Valley/Old Tappan volleyball team won the Group 3 state championship on Saturday, but the NorthJerseySports.com cameras were not there to capture it. In the latest edition of The Multimedia Spotlight, we take our medicine as we catch up with NV/OT head coach Melissa Landeck about five hours after we should have been shooting celebration shots.

Landeck lets us have it, then lets us in on how it all went down in the Group 3 state final where her team took a 25-15, 25-9 decision over West Windsor South.

Aiyana Whitney led the Golden Knights, who won their first outright state championship in 13 years, whith 10 kills and also added 6 digs and 2 aces. Taylor Jansen added 6 kills, 3 digs and 2 aces; Anna Kate Miller had 12 assists and 6 digs and Kelsey Morgan also had 6 digs for Old Tappan, which joined Bergen County programs Bogota, Ramapo and IHA in the Tournament of Champions, which gets underway on Thursday.
