Yes,
This is the Final Four list. The state tournament used to take 8 and 16 teams in the past but it’s still considered a state tournament appearance.

2004-2005 South Webster (AP #4) was defeated by Afrocentric (AP #1) in the regional Finals 54-46

Afrocentric went on to vacate all wins and the D4 state title. Had it not been for that, that would be 3 Final fours in a row and every champion either was webster or had to go through us

Great information, Chieftain2009 and Jason Vorhees. Here is some additional info about Portsmouth's record in state tournament play:

How Portsmouth ranks in the state (all schools....approximately 800)

Appearances: 15.......4th
State Tournament Games Played: 27........Tied for 3rd
State Tournament Games Won: 16.......Tied for 4th (overall record 16-11)
State Championship Games Played: 8.......Tied for 5th
Final 4 Wins: 12.....Tied for 5th
State Titles: 4.......Tied for 7th
Decades Making The State Tournament: 8.......Tied for 2nd

Not all of Portsmouth's state tournament appearances were in the Final 4 format. As was mentioned above, the state tournament in the early days was formatted in an Elite 8 or Sweet 16. The 1925, 1926, 1939, and 1941 state tournament appearances by Portsmouth were not Final 4 appearances but still considered state appearances nonetheless. In each of those years, the Trojans were eliminated before Final 4 play began.

Thanks for your work.....I know how hard it is to compile info like this having done many years of research on Portsmouth's history.

Currently, the SE district is 0-6 in Final 4 games since Portsmouth's win in the 2012 D3 state semifinal vs. Ottawa-Glandorf. Warren in 2013, Ironton in 2013, Lynchburg Clay in 2016, Fairland in 2017, Sheridan in 2019, and New Boston in 2021 have all lost in the state semifinal games.

I still remember all the Webster people on here and jjhuddle griping about Africentric at the time. My response was "If OHSAA, says they're legit, then nothing Webster can whine about." Well, when OHSAA later ruled that Africentric's team that year wasn't legit, I guess the whining was warranted! The Holgate loss at buzzer in 2004 State semis still bothered me more as a Webster fan for some reason.*

Yeah the Holegate shot still hurts to this day and it’s been almost 20 years (wow). I was just a little kid but I remember it like it was yesterday. Talk about taking the air out of the ball against a high powered offense. To think how close we came to having 3 state titles in a row. It’ll be a very very very long time before there’s ever another run like that in SEOD4.
And what a year for the SOC2 in 05-06. 2 teams in the final 4. Wheelersburg took an L in the semifinals to some kid named David Lighty
