I just saw a great Documentary called the Baltimore Boys and it chronicle the 1982-83 Dunbar basketball team which won 59 in row. Some say the greatest high school team in history. Prior to the 1982-83 team there was another number one nationally ranked Baltimore Dunbar team in 1974.

That great team was led by the coach William Sugar Caine who coached Dunbar for 32 years and lead the basketball program to a 485-105 record.
