As for PHS Burg, I think it was a horrible idea to drop them as well. I also agree it was a horrible idea when Burg wanted the game moved from the 10th week. Burg at the time wanted to put more concentration on SOC and playoffs and not have to worry about Portsmouth week 10 after 4 straight loses an...

What I’m hearing 1. Totally agree with changes to the pee wee systems max kids involved. I wish Portsmouth would play in an all Portsmouth league at Pee wee level. Or at least go back to 3 or 4 all Portsmouth teams like we used too. 2. A lot seem to comment that there is success in other sports aro...

Head to head records of SOC versus OVC has been posted here. SOC is a consistently much better in football. My point, similar sized schools, similar economically, why does the SOC fare better then OVC, and what changes can be made to make the OVC more competitive vs the SOC and in the post season?

Agree, I exclude coal grove, as a D6 in a D5 league they get lots of points.

Ironton rolls Gallia and Portsmouth both blown out. Until this year with Ironton and what is expected of them, only recent success is Coal Grove in D6. My point is the OVC isn’t preparing D4 and D5 schools for the playoffs. Tougher non league schedules are needed, or are we happy with going 8-2, 9-1...

I guarantee Portsmouth will not and is not underestimating a team that is 10-0 and has beat most opponents with ease. I will also guarantee, this group of Trojans also won’t just lay down because of the scores and record the Generals have put up. Ridgewood has to be the favorite, and I don’t think P...

Parker will be Parker, he will get his. It will be on the shoulders of Roe, if the young man can move the ball and convert 3rd downs Trojans will be there in the 4th quarter. What scares me the most about RW is the QB, the videos I see the kid can throw 40 yards off the run. Rare talent, we have spe...

I’ll be there
11 maybe plus Trojan games, can’t miss it.

Portsmouth won 8 games because of athletes. We have speed, Parker obviously, Purdy, Rowe, Wallace and others. What we lack is big fast lineman, It’s why we were able to play with Gallia for awhile then their size just wore on us. Ironton, has equal if not better athletes, and the line, not a good mi...

Congrats to Ironton, they are the best local team I have seen since the early 2000s when Ironton and Portsmouth both had many solid teams. The Tigers are huge, fast, and flat out HIT. The physicality from them was what most impressed me, not many teams today can do that.

You'll have to prove you can pass against Ironton. You'll not win by just running the ball. As good as Mr. Parker is (and I know the kid runs fast as the wind) he'll not do it without the benefit of showing you can pass or that your O-line can stop Ironton's rush Agreed, I have been very impressed ...

Who cares about burg? This is Portsmouth and Ironton 134th meeting 66-66-2 2nd oldest rivalry in the state Playoff implications OVC title 8-1 vs 8-1 Burg who?? Until the pounding Ironton put on Gallia I wasn’t convinced they were as good as advertised, but after that I’m rather impressed. Portsmouth...

Region 19
The 2nd longest rivalry in the state
Series record 67-67-2
Both teams 8-1
For the OVC title
The 137th meeting at historic Tanks Memorial stadium of PORTSMOUTH and Ironton!!!!!

There is no place else to be. This is the game.

It’s not over yet. Ironton has to be a heavy favorite to beat Portsmouth, but at halftime last year nobody thought PHS would come back on them like they did either. This has to be the original OVC teams worst nightmare though Ironton Portsmouth and Gallia finishing 1 2 3. But again, it’s one year, i...
