Similarly:
"In 1945, the reigns of the program were handed over to, the soon to become legendary, Dario "Doc" Comi who coached the girls until 1973. Due to his successful record and the exciting style of play that teams exhibited under his direction, the girls' basketball teams soon became known as "Comi's Comets" and later, all the girls' teams at Bellows Free Academy, honored Comi by being dubbed Comets. During Comi's tenure as head coach, the BFA Comets won 14 state championships and amazingly, won 84 straight games from 1950 to 1955. The Comets had become recognized as one of the premier girls' basketball teams in the state of Vermont."

Fascinating. I always knew the story of Bob White, but had never heard this one.

I owned Doc Comi’s house for a short time. The neighbors told me that he had vegetable gardens that were legendary!
