Reginald final at Logan high School Saturday March 9th.

Game is scheduled for 7 pm but I'm guessing it will change since north Adams boys play at that same time at the convo

I’m hearing 1 pm as a possible time — EDIT — Still 7 pm

Portsmouth should win pretty handily, but kudos to the Green Devils for making the Elite 8 from the 5 seed in the SE

I agree that Portsmouth is favored but don’t count out Rob Davis. Great coach and his team will come ready to play.

Portsmouth by as much as they want.

BRING YOUR BEST LADY TROJANS ON SATURDAY, AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!!

Very proud of this team for what they've accomplished thus far.......and there's still some fruit to pick off the tree!!

With a win Saturday, the Portsmouth Lady Trojans could make history on two fronts. First, it would be the 1st Final 4 in school history, and 2nd it would put PHS in an exclusive club of SE district schools that have made the state tournament in both boys and girls basketball. Here are the 10 SE schools that have previously accomplished both:

Ironton: Boys 1994, 2005, 2013; Girls: 1980, 2005, 2010, 2016
Portsmouth Clay: Boys: 1969; Girls: 1980
Thornville Sheridan: Boys: 2019; Girls: 1988, 2004, 2019, 2022
Eastern Meigs: Boys: 2001; Girls: 2013, 2014
Fairland: Boys: 2017; Girls: 2014, 2015, 2023
Chillicothe Unioto: Boys: 1991; Girls: 1987, 1989, 1995
Wheelersburg: Boys: 1982, 1984, 1989, 1995, 2006, 2007; Girls: 2023
Warren: Boys: 2013; Girls: 1997
Eastern Brown: Boys: 2002; Girls: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2017 (School listed as Winchester Eastern on OHSAA history website)
Ross Southeastern: Boys: 1966, 1967, 1977, 1981, 1990; Girls: 1986

No SE school listed has ever won the state title in both boys and girls basketball.

Still a 7:00 pm start.

They moved the north Adams boys game to noon , this game is definitely at 7

Thanks for the updated time, biggdowgg and danicalifornia.

Round 2 for Pizza Crossing in Logan on Saturday!!

Is this the same team SG played if so? Going with Portsmouth to move on

Yes it is. They also were beat by P West this year too. Good luck Trojans. Let’s get two teams from the OVC in the final four!

I second that, Jonjon! Go Lady Trojans and Lady Dragons!

Watch that SG VS North Adam's game, Portsmouth moves on.

NA and West are very similar teams, both are well coached and have very good PGs. NA’s big (Boerger) is a little better than what West had, but overall West was better.

That’s why this will likely be like last night’s game was for Portsmouth, maybe even worse. NA had some bad turnovers against Fort Frye that weren’t particularly against pressure that they’ll face from the Trojans.

Portsmouth can’t sleepwalk through warmups and the first half anymore though, it may not get them on Saturday, but another slow start like that in Dayton and it will be over, IMO.

I'd like to see Portsmouth's bench utilized more. The bench will need some experience outside of junk minutes and confidence in Dayton, especially against teams like CAEC who will match not only their skill, but their physicality.
Good Luck Portsmouth, see you in Dayton.

Going into a deeper dive into the history that the Lady Trojans could make, if they can win Saturday they would join Reedsville Eastern (Eastern Meigs) as the only SE schools to make the Final 4 in boys and girls and have won a state title in either. Eastern defeated Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans in the 2014 D4 state title game.

No offense to the others, but if they have to go past 6 at the Final Four, they are done. Maybe in the future, yes, but not for this year.

The Lady Trojans have had a roster of only 9 girls all season and have done very well to date, going 21-5, beating Fairland and tying for the OVC title. Now playing for the Final 4 with that same roster. They have been tried and tested many times along the way.

GO LADY TROJANS!!

Glad everyone is overlooking the green devils. Bulletin board material. Good luck to both teams.

It doesn’t matter. They can have all the bulletin board material that they want, if you turn the ball over against a passive zone, you’re going to turn it over a ton against Portsmouth.
