Surprise Tribute Marks Retirement

After a thrilling 70-68 buzzer-beater win over Pontiac Notre Dame Prep Friday night, Port Huron Northern’s boys basketball team stayed on the court — but not to celebrate.

Jamison, a 1991 Northern graduate, has led the Huskies to four league titles and a district crown. He’ll finish his career coaching through the MHSAA tournament before following his two sons’ college basketball journeys at Lake Superior State.
