mhs95_06: That does include both the boys and girls teams. The 4 boys state champions did not win every tournament game by at least 13 points. Also the total number of tournament games is now 30, with the 3 games the girls played in 2024 and 2025. PHS was 12-7 in Final 4 games up to 2024, then the g...

Sienna Allen has just been named the Ohio D5 Player of the Year. Very high honor to go along with being a STATE CHAMPION!!

She could become the all time leading scorer since she has already passed the 1,000 point mark in her junior year. Kyre Allison is the all time leading scorer with 1,688 points.

mhs95_06: The girls state tournament started in 1976, and there were 3 divisions then AAA, AA, and A. There was the typical setup of sectional, district, regional, and Final 4. In 1988, the OHSAA went to a 4 division system, with the same setup leading to the Final 4. Now with 7 divisions the sectio...

BuckeyeBlood: Very good post. No doubt a state championship team comes about because it's the result of a combination of coaching and talent. Portsmouth had talented players for sure, but Amy and Mike coached them to be a team. 4 girls averaged in double figures for the season. That shows that there...

Hopefully there were some young girls at the game Saturday thinking that they would like to see themselves playing for a state championship. Maybe this will start some momentum at the junior high and youth levels. BuckeyeBlood: From what I'm hearing, we should see at least 10 girls on the varsity ne...

Congratulations on a great season Jeeps. You represented your community, the SOC, Scioto County, and the SE district very well.

Tough loss for the Falcons, but a great season nonetheless. You represented your school, Scioto County, the SOC, and the SE district very well.

LadyHoopsFan: I don't think anybody in the tournament scored more than 15, but I'm not sure about that. I totally agree about the defense, it was suffocating!

Congratulations to the Waterford Wildcats on their state championship!!

Portsmouth Lady Trojans 2025 D5 state champions. State appearances in 2024 and 2025.

The Portsmouth Lady Trojans won the first girls state championship in school history with a 53-38 win over the Creston Norwayne Bobcats in the initial D5 state championship game held last Saturday at UD Arena. The Lady Trojans jumped to a 16-8 lead after 1 quarter, and expanded the lead to 27-14 at ...

The Lady Trojans took control early in their 63-40 win over the Fairland Lady Dragons last Saturday at the Convo. PHS raced out to a 22-8 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, with Daysha Reid setting the tone with three 3 balls. Then the rest of the 26-1 Lady Trojans joined in the fun, and the margin...

Portsmouth played outside the SE district during the season, with non-conference opponents Cincinnati Mt.Notre Dame, Shaker Heights Laurel, Lakota West, Kettering Fairmont, George Rogers Clark (KY), and Ashland (KY) twice. Laurel made the state in D4. This schedule was made with the purpose of prepa...

Pfloyd: As a cancer survivor myself (prostate cancer.....stage 3), I can empathize with your situation. I will pray that the Good Lord, the Great Physician will give you a great report. My cancer situation looks really good...........4 straight PSA's of <0.04 over the course of 18 months. I haven't ...

I echo the sentiments of biggdowgg......so proud of our Lady Trojans for going to back to back Final 4's. A salute to the Minford Falcons for making PHS really work for the regional championship. Hoping our girls can bring their suffocating defense to Athens. With the win last Saturday, the Lady Tro...

What Portsmouth and Fairland have done in the tournament speaks highly of the OVC. Back to back Final 4's by both schools. Glad to see it's at the Convo, which is the mecca of SE basketball. Hoping the Lady Trojans can play their best, because that's what it will take to beat the Lady Dragons. I exp...

This certainly will be an intense battle, with 2 Scioto County teams vying for a Final 4 berth. Minford has to be able to handle Portsmouth's quickness, which has been the difference in so many Lady Trojans games this season. PHS must stay out of foul trouble. I anticipate a big crowd with the Satur...

PrimeTime: The OHSAA tournament program that was put out at Logan HS had the Region 19 winner vs. the Region 20 winner. I initially thought that the semifinal matchups were going to be as you suggested. Portsmouth and Minford are in Region 19, while Fairland and Versailles are in Region 20. Fairland...
