This looks like an exciting event!! I will be there to root on my Alma mater the Coal Grove Hornets against Eastern, then watch Notre Dame as Uce seen them.play and then I live in Ironton so will cheer them on , and then Fairland and Wheelersburg against the Cincy teams lol. Then the nightcap with the Host Portsmouth Trojans lol. I'm not sure I can make it through all these games I'm getting tired typing lol. Can you leave and come back in for this event??

Here's a little bit of info on the Portsmouth Trojans who as of 1/13/26 are 7-4, 4-2 in the OVC.

The Trojans starting 5, with PPG averages(approximate)

Olynshay McKinley.......6-5 SR; 4 PPG.....high 11
Connie Thomas.......... 5-10 SR; 15 PPG..high 24
Daequan Woods..........5-10 SR; 16 PPG..high 30
Logan Adkins.............6-2 SR; 12 PPG....high 18
Crisshawn Dukes.........6-0 JR; 6 PPG.....high 13

Main players off the bench:

Joe Greene..............6-0 FR.....high 7
Mekhi Berry..............6-3 FR.....high 15
Jay Lofton...............6-0 JR.....high 10

Portsmouth started out 3-0, then hit a rough patch to go 3-3, but a 73-72 win over Ironton has re-energized this team. Since that win over the Fighting Tigers, PHS has now upped its record to 7-4 (4-2 in the OVC) with games at Eastern Pike 1/13, at Chesapeake 1/15, and vs. Lewis County in the Buckeye Elite on Saturday.

Hopefully the snow we are getting overnight tonight won't cause any cancelations in this event, primarily for the earlier games. Or any other games elsewhere on Saturday...

MVCA was the best team there they might not have had the best player but they were the best team by far as far as playing as a team
