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...

The Trojans' JV team dropped to 4-10 after last night's loss to Chesapeake. More competitive effort from the JV, but still problems scoring consistently.

Malachi Loper has 821 points in his career thus far, counting Portsmouth Clay and PHS, and he is on pace to pass 1,000 at some point in his senior season in 2024-25.

DeAndre Berry's march up the PHS 1,000 point ladder continued against Chesapeake as he passed Damond Mannon's 1,057 points into 10th place with his current total of 1,073. He is 23 points behind Dion McKinley, Wayne Evans, and Matthew Fraulini, all of whom scored 1,096 points for their Trojan career...

Portsmouth got a huge OVC win last night at Chesapeake, as the Trojans bested the Panthers 59-44 @CHS on Senior Night. PHS is now 5-0 away from home in the OVC, leaving them as the only unbeaten team on the road in conference play. Chesapeake led 18-13 late in the 2nd quarter, but a 7-0 run by PHS g...

Let me clear up any rumors about Malachi leaving Portsmouth. Last night I talked to his father after the Chesapeake game, and he assured me 100% that Malachi is STAYING at PHS and WILL NOT be going back to Clay.

Case closed.

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 ...

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...

Thank you, Swanker, and good luck to your Jeeps. SW has a great chance to make the Final 4 because of the schedule they play.
