“Jim Wallace is one of the reasons I chose this community back in 1999. We had some pretty good ball teams here, and I’m proud to be back at Trigg County,” Higgins said in the report.
“I’m a member of this community now, and I want to do things to help our community. Football here has had some tough times, and football, to me, is something I know how to do. I just felt like maybe I could do this for a while. I don’t know how long, and I’m not going to commit to any length of time whatsoever. But I’m going to try to get us back to where we’re playing in November. When I was here the first time, we played in November all the time.”
Higgins owns the football program’s highest winning percentage in school history at .726 and also has the second most victories for any head coach. After leaving Trigg County, Higgins went to Fern Creek and posted a 28-20 record.
