[trojandave]

The Portsmouth Lady Trojans open up the 2025-26 as the reigning D5 State Champions. PHS defeated Creston Norwayne 53-38 to capture the 1st Lady Trojans state title in school history. PHS returns 4 starters from that team. They are:

Sienna Allen.............6-0 SR.........13.8 PPG.......signed with Ohio University
Hayven Carter...........5-10 JR........10.5 PPG
KeKe Woods..............5-5 JR.........12.4 PPG

Filling out the roster are:

Brianna Shannon........5-11 JR.........part time starter
Sky Mays.................5-10 SO
Salem Allen..............5-7 SO

The Lady Trojans' defense carried them throughout the tournament. Look for more of the same this season, as Coaches Amy and Mike Hughes employ pressure over the whole court forcing opponents into numerous turnovers.

Hopefully there’s a couple of freshmen or someone who didn’t play that comes out for some depth. Playing with 7 girls will be rough.

Thanks Dave.
I’d like to add Freshman Abi Whitt is also on the roster.

[trojandave]

Thanks, Moses Guthrie, for the info. I will add her to the roster posted above. Good to have her on the team.

The Lady Trojans won the state with only 9 girls on the roster. With FR Abi Whitt, that gives the PHS 8 girls on the 2025-26 roster. 3 years ago the Lady Trojans made it to the district final with only 6 girls.

30 Point Games by Lady Trojans:

Peighton Williams: 41 vs. Huntington Ross
Rosalind Hairston: 40 vs. Greenup County
Marvetta Froe: 34 vs. Northwest
Daysha Reid: 33 vs. Whiteoak

Why are their numbers so bad? You would think with all the success they’ve had every girl in the district would want to play

[Hoopster98]

I said the same thing.
