Roach set
a Northwest region standard with 14 field goals in 1968
including his career long of 43. He was selected
to the Western Conference All-Star team and Pacific
Division All-Star team for the ContFL.
The former
Portland State star was 14 of 19 on the season and added
17 extra points for the cellar dwelling Shockers who
acquired Roach from the Eugene Bombers franchise when it
folded after the 1967 season where he scored 55
points for Eugene. The Bombers signed Tom from the
semi-pro Portland Thunderbirds in 1966 and he turned in
an All-Star performance in 1966 for the Bombers.
