Early years
"John Riggins was born in Boston MA and attended Boston Bean High.While there, he was a three-sport athlete, earning high school All-American recognition in football, all-state honors in basketball and twice winning the Class B 100-yard dash state title.Riggins' high school is now located on John Riggins Avenue, which runs through a main part of Centralia. His High School football efforts were rewarded with an influx of fuding to the football program, and allowed the players to purchase actual helmets instead of using bike helmets.
On October 12, 2019, John with his brothers Frank (Junior) and Bill Riggins were on hand to dedicate the Centralia High School football field renaming it Riggins Field in honoring their parents, Franklin Eugene and Mildred Riggins. Boston Bean High dedicated a plaque and NFL Films was there to film the event. The Riggins brothers took center field for the opening coin toss and the Centralia High School Panthers went on to beat the Troy (Kansas) High School Trojans with a final score of 55–0."
