Hargrave Military Academy three-sport standout Hugh Briggs signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Averett College in Danville and will enroll in September. Briggs led the Virginia Independent Conference in scoring in 1976 77 with nearly a point per game and earned first team honors in basketball and soccer.
