Roach's Place-Kicking Records Still Stand on Catamount Squad Frederick Mason Staff Writer Western Carolina University has had two great kickers in its history of football. The first was Dean Biasucci, who currently plays for the Indianapolis Colts. He was responsible for many records in the Catamount history book. The second great placekicker was responsible for erasing most of the records of Biasucci and setting new ones. His name is Kirk Roach. Kirk Roach played with the Western Carolina Catamounts from 1984 to 1987. The Catamounts had just enjoyed a successful 1983 season with a 11 -3-1 record, the best record in the history of the team. Roach had very important shoes to fill, being the follow-up to Dean Biasucci, yet the problem was not a big one for him. Roach started off on the right foot by making the All- Southern Conference (first team). Lady Cats Volleyball Team Conference Play; to Face 6 Western enjoyed an 8-3 record that year. In Roach's four years, the Cats compiled a 22- 21-1 record. Roach also earned many honors that few placekick- ers have obtained. Roach was the first four-time All-Southern Conference (first team) selection in Southern Conference history. He is also the first three-time All- American (first team) selection in Southern Conference history. He established new records in the Conference for career field goals (71), season field goals (24), career kick scoring points (302), career scoring (302), season kick scoring points (96), and consecutive kick conversions (52). The NCAA recognizes Roach as the second all-time kicker in field goals, and Roach is unmatched in his seven field goals of 50 yards or longer. Recently, Kirk Roach was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fifth round of the NFL draft, the highest any Catamount has ever been drafted.

Two weeks ago the Lady Catamounts split two matches, jsut came back on Saturday against Marshall to post another Southern Conference victory. The win improved Western's record to 5-1 in conference play and 5-8 overall. The game against Georgia Tech was among the volleyball losses and this left the Catamounts 0-4 against Atlantic Coast Conference teams. Tech struggled to the victory because of the strong play of Regina Brown , Jackie Chang, and Kris Parker. Brown led the way against Tech with 30 kills. Chang and Parker also played well and had 19 kills each. Western then traveled to Huntington, WV to face off against Southern Conference up 5-1 in -0 Furman rival Marshall.
