It would be interesting to see if the boys could convince someone to let them onto a girls' volleyball team, where the school did not have a similar program for boys. I expect in that case, they might have some legal grounds.

That's correct. Here, if there's a boys basketball team, then the boys cannot try out for the girls' team. If there's a girls hockey team, they cannot go out for the boys team. There's been some issues when a girl wants to play baseball. But to my knowledge, so attempts have been rebuffed because softball is available. The courts have sided on softball being the equivalent of baseball.
Under NCHSAA rules, if a boy were to join a girls volleyball team, the team would be allowed to compete during the regular season. However, they would not be eligible for the regular season or post season titles nor would they be eligible for the playoffs.
