Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Just want to give a shout out to our 7th grade Trojan boys team that won the OVC tournament. Our 7th graders played up all season against the opposing 8th graders, and only lost 2 games. In the OVC tournament, they played against the 7th grade teams and won every game handily. GREAT JOB COACHES JOE ...

Re: Lady Trojans scores and updates on the new season

VERY PROUD OF THE LADY TROJANS AND COACHES AMY AND MIKE HUGHES! Looking forward to the game Monday to see the Lady Trojans get the opportunity to win the OVC outright!! It will a tough game, because the Fairland Dragons are REALLY good, but our Trojans can do it!! This program has come a long way, a...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

I wish Malachi the best whatever he chooses to do. Great kid and good basketball player. Very important part of our team this season. I hope he stays. Whatever happens, Portsmouth has been fielding a team as far back as 1902. We will have a team next season, and most likely will be an underdog in ma...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Portsmouth is currently in a tie with Ironton for 4th in the OVC. The Trojans haven't finished higher than 5th since the 2017-2018 season, when PHS finished 4th. Here is all of Portsmouth's finishes in the OVC since it joined the conference in 2015: 2015: 1st 2016: 2nd (Fairland champion) 2017: 3rd ...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Now that DeAndre Berry has passed the 1,000 point mark for his career (currently at 1,053), there's another exclusive club that he will join if he continues scoring at his current pace. He would become the 18th player in Trojan history to average at least 20.0 PPG for a season. Right now he is avera...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

JV squad now 4-9 after the loss to Coal Grove. The team has been playing more competitive lately, but the main problem is scoring. The varsity loses 4 starters after this season, with only Malachi Loper returning. This group is essentially going to be the varsity team next season, and if PHS is goin...

Re: Wild Finish ahead in the OVC

I agree, Area51. Unfortunately Portsmouth just can't seem to take care of its home court, as the Trojans are now 4-0 on the road but a disappointing 2-3 at Trojan Arena. If the Trojans win out against Chesapeake, South Point, Fairland, and Ironton they will do no worse than a tie for 1st. Tough thin...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Portsmouth continued its winning ways on the OVC road, as the Trojans bested a feisty Coal Grove Hornets 63-58 @CG. The Hornets scored 20 points in the 1st quarter, on the strength of about 4 trifectas. PHS trailed 20-19 after 1. PHS then defended the 3 pointer very well after that, and in fact thei...

Re: Lady Trojans scores and updates on the new season

First place Trojans (12-0) have one more opponent to face before the showdown with Fairland. PHS plays at South Point on Thursday, and the Pointers have a competitive team, being in 3rd in the OVC standings. The Lady Trojans have to be focused on the Pointers and not the Dragons.

Re: Portsmouth trojans Daysha Reid hits 1,000

Congratulations to Daysha. Scoring 1,000 points just being a junior is very hard to do. She not only is a fine basketball player, but a fine person as well. Love her style of play.......always pushing the ball up the court for a quick bucket. A really good 3 point shooter as well, and can play some ...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

What was also disappointing in the North Adams game was to lose on Basketball Alumni Night, with as many as 50+ former basketball Trojans that witnessed the game. It was great to see Coach Roger Merb represent the Class of 1959. There were alums from many different eras, and quite a few of them look...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

The North Adams Green Devils handed the Trojans their 2nd consecutive home loss, as NA bested the Trojans 57-51. NA pretty much controlled the pace of the game, with a patient offense which resulted in effective dribble drive penetration for a kickout 3 (#14 had four 3's in the 1st half) or a backdo...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Having the goal of making the state tournament is okay with me, because the Portsmouth Trojans have been to the state more than any other school in the SE district and only 4 schools in the entire state have more appearances. The state is always to goal at PHS, whether we make it or not. We've been ...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

What was very frustrating about last night is that Portsmouth won at Gallia Academy 65-47 earlier this season. I don't know what the problem is, but there is a problem with the Trojans winning at home in the OVC. With the loss to GAHS, Portsmouth dropped from a tie for 2nd to alone at 5th at 5-3. PH...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

Once again the home court of Trojan Arena was not friendly to the Trojans, as Gallia Academy's Kenyon Franklin hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer to give the Blue Devils a 60-57 win over Portsmouth. PHS led 16-11 after 1 quarter, but after that GAHS controlled the tempo of the game and eventually pulled ...

Re: Portsmouth Trojans 2023-24

A win tomorrow vs. Gallia Academy would give the Trojans the 86th season of at least 10 wins. If PHS can get to 15 wins, it would be the 34th time to reach that mark, and a 17 win season would be the 46th time that's happened. PHS has won 20 or more games 19 times. It would also be 2 wins away from ...

There's another twist and turn in the saga of DeAndre Berry's career point total.......he now has 983, as opposed to the 977 that I had previously posted. The total numbers have been changing almost daily, and it's hard to keep up with the latest figures. Needing only 17 points now, DeAndre has an e...

Re: [=== OVC (2023-24) ===] -- Schedule/Results/Standings

Thanks, TSYS for the updated standings.

Definitely a strong year for OVC basketball, with 5 teams at 5-2 or better. Conference title still up for grabs.
