As Coach Aaron Smith enters his 2nd season as the Trojans HC, he has history on his side as to how his 2nd season could play out. Historically, 11 of the last 14 coaches who have coached at least 2 years at PHS have had a winning season. Listed below are those 11 coaches: 2nd Season: Red Hopkins.......

In regards to Fairland being down, I'll have to see it to believe it. The Dragons haven't seen a down year for at least a decade.

Thanks, Buckeye Elite BK, for the info. What is the admission price?

Should be a good day of basketball.

Dontavion (Dee) is not projected to be a starter on the varsity, but he is one of the best defenders in the program. As far as his eligibility, we'll just have to wait and see on that.

BuckeyeBlood makes a good point about Logan Adkins......he hasn't played in 2 years due to recovering from a knee injury. From what I have seen from Logan recently, he is fully recovered and his game looks solid. I agree with his assessment of Greene and Berry......they will figure in the varsity's ...

The Lady Trojans won the state with only 9 girls on the roster. With FR Abi Whitt, that gives the PHS 8 girls on the 2025-26 roster. 3 years ago the Lady Trojans made it to the district final with only 6 girls.

Thanks, Moses Guthrie, for the info. I will add her to the roster posted above. Good to have her on the team.

The Portsmouth Lady Trojans open up the 2025-26 as the reigning D5 State Champions. PHS defeated Creston Norwayne 53-38 to capture the 1st Lady Trojans state title in school history. PHS returns 4 starters from that team. They are: Sienna Allen.............6-0 SR.........13.8 PPG.......signed with O...

The Portsmouth Trojans will enter the 2025-26 season coming off a 7-15 campaign a year ago. The good news for PHS is that the top 2 scorers return, and will be bolstered by a good freshmen class and better depth off the bench. SR Connie Thomas led the Trojans in scoring last season, tallying 17 PPG ...

You're correct with your post, BuckeyeBlood..........Portsmouth will be very competitive and will challenge for SOC titles in several sports. The SOC is a better conference with PHS as a member.

BuckeyeBlood did a very good job with his overview of the Trojans. From watching Portsmouth this summer, I believe that PHS must play at a fast tempo to fully take advantage of their athleticism. FR Mekhi Berry had recovered from his foot injury that he sustained in June. That is a huge factor in an...

Portsmouth Lady Trojan Sienna Allen has accepted an offer to play basketball at Ohio University. Allen, a 6-1 senior, averaged 13.8 PPG for the D5 State Champion Lady Trojans last season. She led the team with 17 points in the State Championship game vs. Creston Norwayne. Sienna's sister Salem is a ...

Best wishes pfloyd on your potential move......and of course may the Good Lord keep you healthy.

What will Lou do without you at his side?

One player that has hardly been mentioned that has improved a lot is Jay Lofton, who will be a junior this coming season. He has shown that he is capable of handling the PG duties, most likely as a backup to Connie Thomas or Daequan Woods. He is a threat from 3 ball land but can also take it to the ...

Portsmouth ran it's final record to 8-0 in the Rock Hill League with a 44-40 win over a talented Huntington St.Joe team, and followed that with a 61-38 win over the Green Bobcats. The win over HSJ was one of the best of the summer for PHS, as the Irish have some very good individual talent. They als...
