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. To Coach Brian Jamison’s surprise, the school honored him and his wife, Anna, for his upcoming retirement after 27 seasons. 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.

Michigan Celebrates Olympic Gold

Michigan is celebrating Olympic gold after Team USA captured the men’s hockey title, powered in large part by standout performances from Great Lakes State athletes.

Waterford native Dylan Larkin led with poise and determination, setting the tone throughout the tournament with key goals and relentless effort. Canton’s Jack Hughes delivered the defining moment, scoring the overtime winner to secure the gold medal. His brother, Quinn Hughes of Plymouth, anchored the blue line with smart playmaking and a crucial assist in overtime. Zach Werenski of Grosse Pointe Woods contributed multiple assists and steady two way play, while Shelby Township’s Kyle Connor added offensive firepower that kept opponents on edge.

Michigan talent also shined in women’s hockey. Farmington’s Megan Keller scored the golden goal in a dramatic overtime victory over Canada.

From local youth rinks to the Olympic stage in Italy, Michigan athletes showcased grit, skill, and excellence, bringing pride and celebration to communities across the state.
