“It is an honor to be able to play for and then join Coach Riggle staff. He has been a tireless worker and has always strived to represent Lincoln Land with the utmost class and dignity. While there have been numerous individual awards and several victories he always cared about the player off the field as much as on the field. He cares as much about their classroom accomplishments as athletic. This has led to him leading a championship caliber program for decades.” Coach Danny McGee.
