Abstract Educator and basketball coach Sanford T. Roach was born in Frankfort, Kentucky in 1916. Graduating from Danville Bate High School in Kentucky in 1933, he earned a B.S. degree from Kentucky State University in 1937 and an M.A. degree from the University of Kentucky in 1955. At Danville Bate as teacher and basketball coach, he compiled a 98-24 record. In twenty-two years as head coach at Lexington's all-black Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, he led the Bearcats to a 512-142 record. He retired from the sport when his first wife Mary died unexpectedly in 1965. He later became the first black principal of an integrated elementary school in Lexington and the first black principal of a Fayette County secondary school. Receiving numerous awards and honors, with many community service affiliations, he was credited with making a positive impact on the integration of the sport. Roach passed away on September 2, 2010, at the age of 94.
