Youngstown native Sid Jamieson is taking his place among Western New York legends. Jamieson was announced as a member of the 2026 Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. The Lewiston-Porter High School graduate was the men’s lacrosse coach for Bucknell University, amassing 248 wins from 1968-2005.

Jamieson led the Bison to four Patriot League championships and was twice the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association man of the year (1986 and 1996), while earning USILA coach of the year in 1996. In 1968, Jamieson led Bucknell to 24 wins in its first 28 games as a program. Despite being a non-scholarship program, Jamieson guided the Bison to the NCAA Tournament in 2001.

He finished his career with 19 All-Americans and 111 all-conference selections. And he did it while spending 25 years as an assistant coach for the Bucknell football team. In 1983, Jamieson was the co-founder and first head coach of what became the Iroquois national team, coaching the team in the 1984 World Lacrosse Games.
