Same for me. I was only 10 years old, but I remember people lining up right after school to get in. I remember sitting right up by the radio area, and the place being absolutely packed. MOJO did have a scoreboard in there shop with that final score on it, as the owner was a Wherle grad.

12. Portsmouth 54, Wheelersburg 52(OT).....1978 sectional final......Jeff Lisath's bank shot sent the game into OT.
.......and some that the Trojans didn't win:

2. Lucasville Valley 58, Portsmouth 55...2014 district championship....Chris Flowers' 3 pointer at the buzzer wins for the Indians.
3. Ironton 54, Portsmouth 52...1979 Class AA dist.champ.......Dickie James 2 FT's won it for IHS. Snapped 29 game win streak by the Trojans.
4. Lucasville Valley 63, Portsmouth 62......2010 sectional final at Jackson.....Zack Utley game winning 3 pointer.

The game vs Cin Forest Park, in my opinion, was the greatest of all. It took a long jump shot from Jason Taylor as time expired just to send it to overtime. I've never witnessed a more dramatic win for the Trojans.trojandave wrote: ↑Mon Dec 23, 2019 11:48 am So many great games involving the Trojans......here's a few that I will always remember, in no particular order:
