Re: 2025 Portsmouth Trojans

SiderBlood: My apology for not mentioning your Senators. I just tried to name games off the top of my head. Probably the two games that standout the most are the ones you mentioned.......the playoffs at Ironton in which West won 27-18 (I think that was the score), after the Trojans beat PW in the r...

Re: 2025 Portsmouth Trojans

With the smell of footballs in the air, I compiled a list of 26 random, notable games from the PHS past.....recent and distant. I'm sure some of these will bring up some memories, some good, some not so good. Don't know the exact years, so the games are post-2000 unless otherwise noted. Playoff gam...

Re: SOC- OVC

The SOC could call Ironton, Jackson, and Gallia to create a more even big division of the SOC Gallia Ironton Jackson Waverly Wheelersburg West Hard to see Gallia, Waverly, West wanting the other three year after year. I love having a tough schedule and maybe in years past I would have been on board...

Re: D6 24: (RD2) St Bernard-Elmwood Place (9-2) @ Portsmouth West (8-3)

You may agree or you may disagree but I’ve watched all season lil motivation and have also felt I was at a funeral. I’m very passionate about the sport and hate to see no energy. Now is that a player thing or a coach thing? I believe it falls on coaches problem. Certain players who was leading posi...

Re: D6 24: (RD2) St Bernard-Elmwood Place (9-2) @ Portsmouth West (8-3)

This one was tough for me to type. One of the sloppiest, least motivated, and poor execution games I have ever watched. And after all the mistakes, missed tackles, poor special teams plays, still had a chance to win going into the fourth. I’m just scratching my head as to why the motivation was basi...

Re: D6 24: (RD2) St Bernard-Elmwood Place (9-2) @ Portsmouth West (8-3)

Have never heard of this school before, so have no idea. First glance at their schedule and nothing extraordinary pops out. Anyone have any info on what kind of offense they like to run? If they throw it all over the place we might be in trouble. If they don’t I’m gonna take the orange and black to ...

Re: D6 24: Chesapeake (5-5) @ Portsmouth West (7-3)

West should take this one. As long as they come out focused and determined. I’ve seen good teams in the past more than capable of winning a playoff game or two and it’s almost like the Burg game demoralizes them. Being in D6 they have a legit shot to make it two a regional semi final to play Coldwat...

Re: Burg vs West

So many people just really aren’t as smart as they think they are. Is it a goal to win the SOC and beat your rival every year? Absolutely. But let’s be honest with ourselves. Just from an enrollment standpoint we are not on the same level playing field with Burg as we use to be. Can we compete? Sure...

Re: Who’s the best team in Pike County??

Might have a little SOC bias here but I just don’t see Piketon or Eastern beating Waverly. I know Waverly really struggles against the run. But they can throw the ball and play a beefed up schedule compared to the other two. Piketon is better than expected and that one could be a great ball game. Bu...

Re: Best Memories of Rivalry Week

2008 at The Rock. Both teams came in at 9-0 with West having a three headed monster in the backfield. Burg had Shankweiler at tailback and it poured all day long. West gutted it out in the mud and slop and won 14-7 to cap off the undefeated season. 2011 West puts a beatdown on the Burg on the last g...

Re: Burg vs West

Death, taxes, West vs Burg for an SOC. I’d like to find the numbers of how many times week 10 has decided the SOC. I’d have to think a lot. Both teams started off with a rough record , but as good teams do they both have improved. Burg has a much better non conference. West has been down and out sev...

Re: Northwest @ Portsmouth West

The most complete game they have played all year by far. All about peaking at the right time, hopefully they are starting to put it all together right now.
