Berks Sports Report Paul Roberts
Bob Wolfrum is an institution in Wyomissing. He spent 33 years as a teacher and Dean of Students. Wolfrum has been an integral part of the football program for more than 50 years. This is his 37th season as the Spartans’ head coach. Wolfrum’s record improved to (357-88-1) after a 35-14 victory over Conrad Weiser on Saturday afternoon. Following the game, the football field was officially named after the longtime coach. Wolfrum led Wyomissing to the Class 2A state championship in 2012 when the Spartans defeated perennial powerhouse Aliquippa. Wyomissing earned PIAA-3A silver medals in 2020 and 2021. Wolfrum has won eleven District 3 titles including four in a row. He’s an eye-popping (18-0) in home playoff games. Only Southern Columbia’s Jim Roth has more all-time wins among active high school coaches in Pennsylvania. Wolfrum has only had one losing season in nearly four decades as head coach. His teams have been a model of consistency. The Spartans went (49-4) over the previous four years.
Despite all of his accomplishments, Wolfrum is a man of few words. During Saturday’s dedication ceremony, he spoke for nearly 14 minutes. Wolfrum talked about the support he has received from his wife, family, assistant coaches, administrators, and players. As usual, he focused on the Wyomissing community as a whole and not himself. Here is his speech in its entirety.
