“Coach
Wiggins not only made me a better soccer player, but he helped show me
how to be a better leader. Through his guidance, the other
captains of the team and I learned how to take responsibility, not only
for when the team did well, but for when we fell. He helped teach
us that games aren’t just won on the field, they’re won in practice and
preparation. I still remember waking up early on days before big
games to inspect the opposing team’s field and strategize for the next
day. I am truly grateful for the time I was able to have on the
Hinsdale Central soccer team under the guidance of Coach Wiggins.
I can only hope that future generations of student/athletes at Hinsdale
Central will take advantage of the opportunity of playing on such a
great team.”
~ Raef Chenery, Hinsdale Captain (2002)

“Playing
soccer for Hinsdale Central was one of the greatest times of my young
life. The camaraderie and friendships I gained throughout my 4 years in
the program is something that I will always cherish. I was lucky
enough to be a part of Coach Wiggins' first senior class at Hinsdale
Central. I also was lucky enough to score the first annual "Goal of the
Year" against Coach’s former team, Downers Grove South. As captain of
the 2002 conference championship team, I got to work closely with
Coach, and first hand got to see what a special coach, and
person he is. He inherited a team that had been together for
years, and took over for a coach who had been with the program for
many, many years. Through his amazing attitude, leadership, and work
ethic, Coach Wiggins took our team to the next level and got us all to
follow one common goal. Playing for Hinsdale Central, and Coach Wiggins
was an experience I will always remember and cherish.
~Matt Sperry, Hinsdale Captain (2002)

“During
the summer we all kind of got together and wanted to do something
special this year (2006). We wanted to be remembered as a good class, a
good group of seniors who made an impact on the program, and I think we
did.”
~Brian Collins, Hinsdale Captain (2005 & 2006)
