PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Dan Dougherty is the head coach of the varsity girls basketball team at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in Plymouth Meeting. On his watch, the program has been one of the best in the state. That success has been punctuated this past season by a 34-0 record and a PIAA Class 6A State Championship.
For Dougherty, it’s not just the titles, but the relationships that mean the most.
"When I think about that special group of seniors that graduated last year and that we have right now, and even the class before them, to just getting to know these kids and watching them grow and following them when they get to college,” said Dougherty.
