Faceoff success is largely considered an individual pursuit. Horseheads senior standout Boe Briggs points to family and teammates when it comes to his dominance on the faceoff X.

Briggs' path to becoming an all-state player began when he was a 5-year-old who looked up to his big brother, Garrette Briggs, who starred at Horseheads. Garrette went on to lead the Empire 8 in faceoff percentage multiple seasons at Alfred University, highlighted by a 29-for-30 performance in one game.

"I always wanted to be like him," Boe said. "He’s my role model, so I just started doing what he did. Now that we’re older, we go against each other and battle, and we just get stronger and better as we go against each other."

Boe's family also includes parents Chad Briggs and Valerie Reed, along with older sister Rebecca Briggs.
