Philadelphia High School Basketball

A Look at Penn Charter's 33-Game Inter-Ac
League Winning Streaks, 1940-44 / 1962-65

  A total of eight championships were won by the players that put together
these two streaks -- 1940, '41, '42, '43 and '44, coached by Duke Taylor,
and '62, '63 and '64, coached by Buff Weigand. The 12-0 record in '64
remains the best in school history.
