Robert F. Raczek (March 4, 1938 – July 23, 2013) was an American high school football coach.

One of the most successful coaches in the history high school football in the state of Wisconsin, he was the head football coach Pacelli High School in Stevens Point, Wisconsin from 1966 to 2013, leading them to three state championships in 1986, 1995, and 2005.

Raczek attended the Mosinee high school, where there he played football and other sports.

[2] Raczek left Mosinee High School, and headed for northern Wisconsin to the University of Wisconsin–Stout.

As a student of UW–Stout, Raczek participated in numerous sports, such as wrestling, volleyball, track, and of course football.

Raczek graduated from the university in 1962, then later he was offered a job to teach and coach at the Plainfield-Tri County High School.

In the fall of 1962, Raczek came to Plainfield-Tri County as the head football coach, and the tech-ed teacher.

He taught in both football, and tech-ed for four years at the high school before pursuing new locations to teach and coach.

Raczek was a huge fan of the running game, and would later pass that onto his players in the high school level.

The championship game ended with the Cardinals losing to Milwaukee Pius XI by the final score of 10–0.

In 1986, the Cardinals made it back to the WISAA state championship game, this time they would face off against Waukesha Catholic Memorial.

Pacelli defeated Waukesha Catholic Memorial by a final score of 13–3, capping a perfect season at 13–0.

In 1995, the Cardinals set numerous school records that year in rushing, sacks, and tackles.

The Cardinals made it to the WISAA Division 3 championship game where they defeated Manitowoc Lutheran, 28–0.

Going into the playoffs, the Cardinals were not a top seed, but defeated all of their opponents leading to the title game (except Hilbert, who lost to Pacelli by a score of 7-0).

However, they lost in the second round to conference foe Shiocton Chiefs, who Pacelli had beaten earlier that season.

Bob Raczek is known for greatness, and in teaching his players the values of life, on and off the football field.

Bob Raczek is virtually synonymous with Pacelli football, and the high school at that matter.

Like the classic rivalry between Marshfield Columbus, Eau Claire Regis has had great games against Pacelli.

However, in recent years the rivalry has changed, seeing Regis defeat Pacelli in some critical games.

However, in the semifinals Regis edged Pacelli in a close 21-14 contest, ending a great season for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals also had their share of tough battles with La Crosse Aquinas, another former member of the CWCC.
