What happened after the game may have been perceived as intentional by some, but I can rest assure that it was not by any means. Remember, these are teenagers who just won a very important game in the OVC against a very good South Point team. I would fully expect them to celebrate in some fashion, a...

DeAndre Berry has been a model of consistency for the Portsmouth Trojans. His 36 point effort last night at South Point was a school record 7th time that he has scored at least 30 points in a game. He broke the record of former greats Damond Mannon and Kyre Allison, both of whom had 6 games of such....

Portsmouth continued its stellar play on the OVC road, as the Trojans bested South Point 72-68 @SPHS. PHS avenged an earlier 34 point loss on its home court to the Pointers. Portsmouth led 22-16 in the 2nd quarter, then SP went on a 10-0 run to lead 26-22. The Pointers led by 7 at the half, but PHS ...

BJ is a great Trojan fan......he is 100% Trojan and he always has a great spirit about him.

At 13-5, Portsmouth needs 2 more wins to match the records of the 2016, 2017, and 2018 teams regular season records which all went 15-7. The 2016 and 2018 teams failed to reach the district, both going 16-8 overall, but the 2017 team advanced to the district semifinal, losing to South Point and fini...

DeAndre Berry continues to make Trojan history with each game. Now with 1,125 point for his career, Berry is also averaging 24.6 PPG which would be the 4th highest PPG total all time. Damond Mannon (26.5, 1992), Tory Horne (25.7, 2010), and Larry Hisle (25.5, 1965) are ahead of Berry. Just behind hi...

Thanks, golfis4me, for the info on Todd Mayo.

I don't like the idea of the smaller schools voting to determine the fate of the D1 schools. They're not in a small D1's situation. Easy for them to cast a vote and not worry about what happens in D1.

Thank you to all who took the time to read the article.

It was a wild night at Trojan Arena, as two ancient rivals battled for 3 OT's before Portsmouth prevailed over Ironton 92-85. IHS led by 11 at the half, but PHS rallied to within 4 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Ironton's Brayden Schreck nailed a baseline jumper to send the game into the 1st OT. Iro...

Thank you Jeaux Burreaux.......I proofread it a couple of times and did edit near the bottom to include DeAndre Berry being a senior on this year's team. Thought it would be proper to mention him along with this being Coach Lisath's first season.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LADY TROJANS ON THEIR CO-OVC CHAMPIONSHIP!! SO PROUD OF YOU......YOU REPRESENTED YOUR SCHOOL, COMMUNITY, AND YOURSELVES WITH CLASS. NOW TAKE ALL THIS INTO THE TOURNAMENT AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!!

Congratulations to both the Portsmouth Lady Trojans and the Fairland Lady Dragons on their co-OVC title. Was at the game and the spirit of the crowd was the best I've seen in a long time. Definitely had a tournament feel to it. The Lady Dragons were the better team on this night, but the Trojans hun...

Two players from Ironton stand out......Trey Fletcher and Zac Carter. Both played on the Fighting Tigers' 2013 D3 state tournament team. Also from Fairland 6-8 Collin Van Horn, who went on to have a very good career at Cedarville. Luke Thomas was also a standout with Van Horn on that 2017 Fairland t...

Good lists by all above, but I did not see much about the Portsmouth Trojans. Here's some that come to mind: Dion McKinley (2012)......First team All-Ohio, D3 State Runnerup, 1,096 points for his career. Wayne Evans (2012).......D3 State Runnerup (2012), 1,096 points for his career, made winning sho...

Jose is right about D1. It needs to be split up. Absolutely unfair for small D1's to compete against giant D1's. Almost 1,000 boys difference is some cases in D1.

Portsmouth only has 12 players who have scored at least 1,000 points and who played only at Portsmouth HS. There are 2 others who attained 1,000 points and played at 2 schools. Kenny Sanderlin and Andrew Bendolph, both of whom played at Wheelersburg and Portsmouth. In the history of Portsmouth HS ba...

DeAndre Berry continues to move up the ladder on the Portsmouth Trojans 1,000 point scorers list. Against Chesapeake he passed Damond Mannon's 1,057 point total with a 20 point game, and now has 1,073 points, good for 10th place all time. He scored 14 points vs. Portsmouth West and now has 1,087. He...

Portsmouth finished the week with 3 wins as the Trojans bested the Portsmouth West Senators on Saturday night @PHS 56-42. The game was tied at halftime, but PHS built as much as a 16 point lead in the 2nd half. Donnovan Breech led the Trojans with 19 points, while Malachi Loper had 15 and DeAndre Be...
