Wallace won five state championships from 1959 to 1966. Biggers was named all-state as a sophomore in 1962, leading Wallace to a 40-2 record and a state championship. The Wildcats won another state title in 1964, and Biggers was again selected all-state. He continued his basketball career at Cisco Junior College. In two years at Cisco, Biggers averaged 32 points per game and was the third leading scorer in the nation.
