Bob Bisacre

Bob Bisacre was a 1956 graduate of Wakefield High and is thought by many to be the most talented Warrior football player of the 1950’s and one of the finest Wakefield football players ever to play the game. Bob was a four-year varsity football player and captain his senior year in 1955. He played both offense and defense and was outstanding at both. Out of the fullback position he ran for 1,000 yards his senior year, averaging seven yards per carry while scoring 9 touchdowns for 56 points in 1955 and accumulating 114 career points.

Winchester’s Joe Bellino was picked by the Boston Globe as one of the top-ten area athletes of the century and was the Globe’s Class A All-Scholastic in 1955. In the game of the decade, undefeated Wakefield lost to Bellino’s Sachems at Walton Field, 31-25. Bellino scored 3 touchdowns, Bisacre two. Bob was runner-up to Bellino as Class A All-Scholastic and was an All-Scholastic for the Boston Post newspaper that year.

Following his graduation from Wakefield High, Bob received a full scholarship to Rose Bowl Champion Michigan State and later transferred to Wyoming University and was the first local athlete to appear on television in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, starting as a linebacker. He also played in the North-South game that year and was Captain of the Wyoming University football team his senior year that went 6-1-2 under the famous coach Bob Devaney. He earned three varsity letters in 1959,60 and 1961 and was the leading ground gainer for kickoff returns in 1961 averaging 17.8 yards per carry.

After college he became a professional football player and played four years in the Canadian Football league. Bob Bisacre was a former physical education teacher at Wakefield High School and coach for seven years of the Warrior football team.
