Higgins and Rigo began playing football together a dozen years ago in the Suffolk
County Police Athletic League, a friendship that continued into their careers on the East
Islip varsity team, where both earned All-County status, Higgins as a middle linebacker and
Rigo as a running back/linebacker and team captain. As freshmen, the two were part of
East Islip’s county championship squad.
