Pete Babbitt was an offensive and defensive tackle for the first two Pat Abbruzzi-coached Warren High School elevens that defeated Bristol High School.

In his junior season of 1962 he was named first team All Eastern Division Offensive and Defensive Tackle.      

The following spring he earned All Class C outdoor track honors in the hammer throw.

His senior football season found him adding first team All State honors to another year of being named first team All Eastern Division Offensive and Defensive Tackle.

In that season the Redskins edged Bristol, 14-13.  Of the winning extra point, Pat Abbruzzi had this to say, “I put my best runner (Jerry Marino) behind my best blocker (Babbitt) and hoped for the best.” 

In another game that year, the press noted, “Babbitt was immense in the Warren line, making tackles all over the field and opening holes for the backs on offense.” And in a narrow loss to Cumberland, Providence Journal-Bulletin Schoolboy Sports Editor Dick Reynolds went out of his way to praise the work of both Pete and Marino. 

Pete was the Warren High School nominee for the Journal-Bulletin Honor Roll Boy in 1964.
