This sounds absolutely embarrassing. This group of Tigers better find some pride about themselves or this one is Alrwady over.

Portsmouth 50
Ironton 40 a final


... I'm sure that I have NEVER seen a game like this one - ever ... Portsmouth showed their senior maturity in this one right from the start - PHS played solid defensively in their box and one with Wade Whitley chasing Zac Carter all over the court - the D worked to perfection as Carter was forced to give up the ball, rarely able to get into the paint in the entire first half, took off balance three pointers ... while the Trojan offense was as solid as the D - working for the open shot, good ball distribution as 5 Trojans scored in the first quarter ... Portsmouth 13 Ironton 5 after one quarter ... Quarter #2 was more of the same defensively for Portsmouth - nothing offensively for Ironton and I MEAN NOTHING !!! Ironton was "O for the quarter" from the field ... Ironton was "O for 2" from the FT line ... Ironton out rebounded Portsmouth on both ends of the floor BUT (and there is always a but) ... BUT it made "0" difference as Portsmouth was able to extend it's lead to 18 points ... Portsmouth 23 Ironton 5 at intermission ... the 3rd saw Ironton come out of the locker room determined to put the ball in the right peoples hands on the offensive end - paging Zac Carter/Josh Glover - IHS turned up the defensive pressure, was able to up the tempo, was able to get into it's full court pressure after MADE shots ... it's amazing what can happen when the ball starts going in the basket - the Fighting Tigers forced 8 Portsmouth turnovers in the 3rd period - Zac Carter connected for 8 points in the quarter/Glover added 4 ... Portsmouth began looking like a team trying NOT TO LOSE - trying to take care of the ball, trying to run time off the clock, trying not to make mistakes BUT (and there's that BUT again) ...BUT we all know that when a team tries "not to lose" bad things always happen ... Portsmouth with the 8 TOs in the quarter was outscored 11-17 by the Tigers ... Carter was getting into a flow and to make things worse the officials "blinked" apparently as the clock literally "ran out", Trey Fletcher was still dribbling across half court - buzzer sounded - Fletcher let it fly - blanked it in ... it was called good by the officiating crew ... momentum shifted over to I'town ... Portsmouth 34 Ironton 22 after three ... the 4th quarter had the makings of the greatest comeback I have personally seen as the Ironton trio of Carter/Fletcher/White found the range ... Portsmouth took a number of quick shots from behind the arc ... Ironton had closed the gap to 6 points with 3 minutes to play 40-34 PHS ... Portsmouth was now making multiple trips to the line as Carter/Stevens/Glover were over playing on D trying to get into a transition game - PHS converted on 8/13 FTs in the 4th ... all IHS hopes to come all the way back went South when Carter picked up his 5th foul with 1:47 left to play ... Carter's departure was met with a Dion McKinley open court slam ... Aaron Stevens left with 5 personals for IHS ... Zaide Whitley with a couple drives into the paint for PHS baskets ... Portsmouth 50 Ironton 40 the final ...

... Congratulations to the Portsmouth Trojans as they Survived and Advanced to the "Show" as the SouthEast District/Regional Champions !!! ... experience got the Trojans to the D3 Final Four for the 2nd straight year - I believe trojandave posted that the back to back trips to the Final Four is a first ever for the Trojans ... Best of luck from ALL of us here in Southern Ohio - "represent" !!!!
