    Fall sports have concluded, which brings disappointment for some athletes, but joy to others. High school basketball has begun!

  The Port Huron Northern basketball team has started their season and look forward to another season under head coach Brian Jamison. “This will be another great year of coaching here at Port Huron Northern,” Mr. Jamison said.

  The Huskies will have a tough schedule this year which will include some really close score lines. “Those games are my favorite,” Joshua Ward (‘19) said.

  Multiple games a week especially those that go into overtime or are down to the wire in the fourth quarter are draining mentally and physically. “You have to prepare yourself for these tough games down the stretch,” Maurice Powell (‘19) says.

  Basketball is a unique sport because the momentum of the game can switch back and forth instantly. You have to be on your toes and be ready for the next step or decision of the game.

  It is a game you can watch film for and prepare for, but the endless scenarios of in-game action leave some players baffled at the maneuvers performed by the opponent. Carter Stoner (´20)  says ¨I love taking kids one on one and putting on a move or two.¨

  The season is a long, tiring dedication. With the night practices and at least two games a week, the student athletes really appreciate the help of our trainers and coaching staff to make sure they are 100% before and after games.

  ¨Mrs. Amy Nelson plays a big role in my ability to play at a high level,¨ says James Delong (´20). The team needs the correct application of physical training in between contests as well as a good plan to deal with any uncomfort in their muscles.

  With football ending for some of our basketball players, there is already a bond between some of the teammates. Students who played varsity football this year but are on their first year of varsity basketball have incorporated themselves well into the team, making it easier to coach a great group of guys who understand the game of basketball well and understand each other well.
