DAA is pleased to announce that Claire Perry will take on the role of head coach of a Doylestown 7th grade girls AAU team this spring. Claire grew up in Doylestown and graduated from Mount St. Joseph Academy in 2003 and Cornell University in 2007. She holds the free throw shooting record for the Ivy league along with the 3 point shooting record for a season at Cornell.
