Background Info: Doherty has been playing volleyball since the 7th grade. She has been a member of the varsity team since her freshman year.

Quotes from Quaker Valley coach Mike Vavrek: "Kayla is a player who fell in love with volleyball from the first moment she played it. After her 7th grade year, she started going to camps and clinics to improve. She started playing club volleyball after her freshman year, and has continued to play every year since. Kayla is someone who works hard and improves every day, and is a true competitor. She will graduate as only the 5th 4-year letter winner in my 10 years at Quaker Valley. As a freshman, she played varsity as a serving/defensive specialist. She has held the starting Libero position for QV since the beginning of her sophomore year. She is very knowledgeable of the sport and would do a great job stepping in at another position if we needed her. She will finish her career as the Quaker Valley digs leader, and will also rank in the top 3 in aces."
