Over the weekend, the Laurel School District announced that it was renaming the Laurel Middle School locker room after Briscoe. The locker room will be renamed to the “Jaymin Pugh Locker Room.”

A dedication ceremony took place over the weekend during the Laurel High School’s football game on Saturday, October 28.

The Laurel School District took to Facebook to write the following:

“During Halftime of the Laurel Vs Delmar Football Game, a special memorial dedication was presented to the Pugh family in honor of Jamin Pugh.”

“The Laurel Middle School locker room will be renamed the ‘Jamin Pugh Locker Room’. Thank you to the Pugh family for your continued dedication to the Laurel School District.”

Briscoe was heavily involved in the local Laurel athletics as a former football player for Laurel and later as an assistant coach for their middle school football team.
