WILEY, Texas -- Wiley College Unit of Athletics has announced that assistant coach Kendrick Biggs will take over as interim head baseball coach at Wiley College.Biggs, a 1993 Marshall High School graduate and a 1999 Wiley College graduate, replaces Ryan Goodwin. Biggs spent the last two seasons as an assistant baseball coach for the Wiley Wildcats.
"It's exciting," Biggs said. "It's a dream come true. I've coached a lot of baseball but I've never been the head coach at the college level. Being here two years under Ryan and being able to take over and have a rapport with a lot of the guys - It feels kind of good."
Returning to coach under Biggs is assistant coach Corben Green. Biggs has named Quintavious Drains pitching coach. Carlos Jimenez, who played last year will work as a student coach.Before joining Wiley, Biggs coached several teams in the Marshall area including Marshall Junior High, an 8-year-old traveling team the Texas Drillers, the Marshall Longhorns, East Texas Sports and the Marshall Major All-Stars. In 2012, Biggs lead the Marshall Major All-Stars to the Texas Dixie High School State Championship and a third-place finish in the World Series in Guntersville, Alabama.
Biggs has been married to LeKeitha for 21 years and they have three children: Keith Biggs 20, Christian Biggs 15 and Kerrigan Biggs 10.
