Riggs worked as an assistant coach at Leeds High School last year.
At Houston Academy, he’ll replace Jimmy Addison, who was released from his duties in November. The Raiders went 0-10 in 2017 and haven’t won a region game since 2015. They compete in Class 3A, Region 2, which includes Opp, Straughn, Geneva, Pike County, Providenc Christian, Slocomb and Wicksburg.
