Jamie Spencer

Jamie Spencer, who led Montoursville from the depths of zero and two-win seasons and built a solid, competitive program in his six seasons, again joins ESPN Radio this basketball season.

When Spencer was hired in 2003, he inherited a program that had won two games in two seasons and was coming off an 0-24 campaign. Montoursville was a laugingstock but just three years later it was a District 4 Class AAA semifinalist. Spencer, built a solid program from top to bottom and always had his teams prepared and playing hard.

Never was that more evident than in January of 2008 when Spencer took Montoursville into Williamsport and helped the Warriors pull off the biggest upset in that storied gym's history. Montoursville was undersized, vastly slower and far less talented. But it won while leading almost from start to finish.

Spencer's last season may have been his best. The Warriors were ravaged by injuries and distracted by outside interference, but still were in the hunt for a playoff spot until the season's final week and defeated two of the district semifinalists while nearly upsetting Shamokin and Shikellamy, the other semifinalists.
