Dougher was voted by his peers as the YSCC Coach of the Year in 2007, 2010, and 2011.
Coach Dougher commented, "It's been a wonderful experience working with a great staff and awesome players over the years. To think back when I first arrived at SMCC with the opportunity given to me by Matt Richards—we've achieved so much as a program."
