Coach of the Year
Binky Johnson, Norristown
After the Eagles didn’t have a chance to play in 2020-21 due COVID-19 precautions taken by the school
district, Johnson guided a teams with very little varsity experience to the PAC Final Six, District 1-6A
championship and PIAA playoffs. Johnson and Norristown ended the season with nine wins in their last
12 games, including a win over Spring-Ford in the final regular-season game to clinch a PAC playoff berth
and an upset win at top-seed Methacton in the District 1 semis
