Pat Roberts, who led Grossmont to back-to-back CIF finals, winning it all in 1971, died March 1 at age 86
Pat Roberts, who coached Grossmont High School to back-to-back CIF San Diego Section Division 2A football championship games, winning it all in 1971, died March 1. He was 86.
Grossmont lost 13-8 to St. Augustine in the 1970 title game, ruining a perfect season and finishing 11-1.In 1971, Grossmont ruined Patrick Henry’s run at a perfect season with an 8-7 win in the championship game. The Foothillers scored with 9:38 left, then opted to go for a two-point conversion — and the lead — rather than kicking to tie.
Roberts coached the Foothillers from 1968-81, compiling a 75-50-7 record. He returned for a two-year stint in 1996-97, going 2-18. That, however, was in the middle of an eight-year stretch in which Grossmont went 18-64 and had eight straight losing seasons. Several of his players went on to coaching careers, including Jim Mann at El Cajon Valley, Granite Hills and El Capitan and Dave Waasted at Granite Hills and El Capitan.
