Tristan Wiggins reflects on his journey from a devastating leg injury to becoming a two-sport standout at Sikeston High School. Despite experiencing a dislocated tibia and fractured patella in eighth grade that sidelined him for over a year, Wiggins bounced back to help lead the Bulldogs to memorable seasons in both basketball and soccer.

• Overcoming a serious leg injury that required surgery and extensive rehabilitation
• Spending a year in Texas with professional basketball player cousin Marquez Hayes to recover and develop his game
• Contributing to Sikeston's upset victory over Cape Central during sophomore year basketball season
• Excelling in soccer after returning to the sport, scoring approximately 25 goals in his senior season
• Signing with Missouri Baptist University to play college basketball while pursuing a sports management degree
• Planning to eventually return to the area to develop training facilities for young athletes
• Emphasizing the importance of keeping God first, staying coachable, and valuing family relationships

Remember that time is limited in life. Always tell the people around you that you love them and care for them, because you never know when they might be gone.
