Roach maintains a busy athletic schedule between playing basketball, soccer and volleyball. On Friday night at home, she led her 3A Walhalla squad to a Region 1-AAA championship as her 19 points lifted the Razorbacks to a 65-49 victory over West-Oak. It was the 12th consecutive victory the Razorbacks have earned vs. the Warriors dating back to 2019. Thirteen of Roach’s 19 points were placed on the scoreboard in the second half and that enabled Walhalla to pull away from West-Oak in the contest’s latter moments. Long-range accuracy, defense and passing are among the many elements to her complete skillset.
