Jeanine referred me to an article on Wicked Local today about “Doc” Furey, a teacher and coach at the Concord Carlisle High School for the past 40 years. Last month he stepped down as the Head Coach of the Women’s Varsity Tennis Team, a position he had held for 18 years. Before that, he was the Assistant Head Coach and JV Head coach for 17 years. During his tenure, the team won 11 state titles. He was also the Head Coach of the combined Alpine and Nordic Ski Teams for 20 years and the Head Coach of the Alpine Ski team for another 20 years when the programs split. As if that was not enough, he was also the Head Coach of the Boy’s Ninth Grade Soccer team for 40 years. Why was he called “Doc”? Because he holds four graduate degrees. And now for the amazing part and the reason the phrase “illustrious career” was invented. In forty years of coaching three sports, his teams never had a losing season!

While reading the article on the Wicked Local site, I noticed an included video documentary about the CCHS Nordic Ski Team produced while Maya was a member. It features her boyfriend at the time as well as brief shots of her.
