Richard Doub, a graduate of Gettysburg College — where he lettered in soccer — was a dedicated, reliable, responsible and caring coach at Williamsport High School for 42 years. He possessed the rare ability to stimulate within a person the drive for higher achievement. This was shown in his 1947-48 high school “Triple Crown” of Maryland state championship soccer, basketball and baseball teams.

“Rich” Doub coached every sport at Williamsport High, accumulating many records throughout the Tri-State area year after year. He coached boys and girls teams, winning the 1949 Maryland state girls basketball championship.

In 1973, he retired from coaching baseball after posting over 200 wins. Two years later, he retired from coaching soccer, again posting over 200 wins — achieving at one time 41 consecutive wins.

He then assumed the role of athletic director and gave unselfish support to the total athletic program.

He also coached an undefeated Senior Division Little League team in 1968. He was director of the summer playground program for 14 years.
