All I'm going to say is that the Trojans will have a much different look than what was projected at the end of this past season. Wasn't feeling particularly optimistic at that time, but now that optimism is back. There is a possibility that PHS could end up a D4 school now that the 7 division system...

Good to see Aaron Duncan get OVC Coach of the Year, which was well deserved. Also congratulations to DeAndre Berry, Trevon Brooks, and JT Williams for making 1st team all-OVC. The OVC POY should be one of those Portsmouth players. PHS won the conference outright, and the POY should follow that accom...

Congratulations to the Minford Falcons on beating a really good Portsmouth Trojans team. Good to see the prayer circle has extended beyond PHS Coach Jeff Lisath's basketball program.

All good points, biggdowgg, and I do think Portsmouth was not treated fairly in the OVC individual awards.

BuckeyeBlood: Thanks for a very good post on the upcoming season. I, too, think the playoffs are a reality and hopefully like you said play at home the 1st week of the postseason. We can win the OVC, but we have to be able to beat Gallia Academy, which has been a nemesis for PHS for a long time. As ...

The Trojans won a district title for the 1st time in almost 25 years with a win over Lynchburg Clay yesterday at Ohio University. PHS advances to play Fairland at OU next week. Portsmouth and Fairland split their head to head OVC games.

Good to see Logan finally getting to join the OCC. Tough competition, but at least the Chieftains will have the security of not having to build a schedule every year. I checked the enrollments and noticed that Logan will be the smallest school in the Buckeye. Still big enough to be competitive though.

Congratulations to Tanner.....he had a great game vs. my Trojans in the basketball district semifinals.

It's going to be very interesting as to how and where the tournaments will be set up. The logistics will be quite different than in the 4 division system.

With the win over South Point yesterday, the Portsmouth Trojans clinched an outright OVC baseball championship with a 12-2 record, the 1st outright title since the school joined the conference in 2015. Congratulations to Coach Aaron Duncan, his staff, and the players for making school history. This ...

Add Malachi Loper to the list of individual awards. A junior, Loper was named Honorable Mention All-OVC. He has scored a career total of 907 points thus far, and should pass 1,000 early on in the 2024-25 season. Malachi also made 3rd team All-SE District, averaging 10.6 PPG.

Congratulations to both DeAndre Berry for being named 2nd team D3 All-State, and to Donnovan Breech for making Honorable Mention D3 All-State. It was a very good year for individual and team accomplishments in both boys and girls basketball: 1. The Lady Trojans made the 1st Final 4 in PHS girls bask...

The honors keep coming for Sienna Allen and Daysha Reid. Allen made 1st team D3 All-State, while Reid made 3rd team D3 All-State. Allen had already been named the D3 SE district Player of the Year.

Congratuations to both Lady Trojans on their deserved awards!!

I went to the boys state tournament for 35 straight years until 2015, and now enjoy watching the semifinals and finals on Spectrum. I did enjoy going to my 1st girls state tournament with Portsmouth making the Final 4 this year. UD Arena is a really nice facility. I just wonder how the logistics of ...

Congratulations to the Portsmouth Lady Trojans' Sienna Allen, who was named the Division 3 SE District Player of the Year. Allen, a sophomore, averaged 15.8 PPG and scored 12 in the D3 state semifinal game vs. Ottawa-Glandorf. Her teammate, Daysha Reid, a junior, averaged 14.7 PPG and scored 10 vs. ...

During one of the girls state tournament games, an OHSAA official was interviewed about the state of the OHSAA. She revealed that not too long ago that the OHSAA did not have much of a reserve fund, but now that fund is around 8 million. Can't help but think the OHSAA will monetarily benefit from go...

Good post, RBH23, and I'm in total agreement.

VERY PROUD OF THE LADY TROJANS ON A FANTASTIC SEASON!! YOU MADE LADY TROJANS BASKETBALL HISTORY!! TO ALL THE COACHES AND PLAYERS, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!! I felt what hurt the Lady Trojans more than anything was a 6 minute period in the 2nd quarter where they didn't score a single point, and yet th...
