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.

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.

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...

The Lady Trojans advanced to the D5 regional final as they defeated the Tusky Valley Trojans 48-35 last night @Logan HS. With the win, the Lady Trojans eclipsed a 41 year record by winning their 24th game (24-1), which topped the 1984 Lady Trojans who won 23 games en route to a 23-1 record. The 1985...

BuckeyeBlood: Good post and your points are spot on. Crishawn Dukes will be a junior, and he definitely will fit in the varsity rotation. You make a great case about Mekhi Berry and Joe Greene. No question they are varsity ready, and will seriously push for starting spots, since we lose Brewer and L...

The Lady Trojans won their 2nd consecutive district championship on Saturday as they easily defeated the Alexander Spartans 58-24. Alexander had come into the game with a 7 game winning streak, but PHS took command early as JR Sienna Allen hit three 3 balls and had 13 first quarter points. Allen fin...

Baseball16 and Pinwheel: Good posts by both of you. It wasn't long ago that when Amy Hughes took over the girls program, she had the task of building a program that had been a cellar dweller in the OVC. Now look at the Lady Trojans now: they are a powerhouse that has been to a Final 4 and is the hea...

The Trojans' season came to a crashing end last Friday as the South Point Pointers thumped PHS 49-30 @South Point. For the 3rd time in 4 years, SP has eliminated the Trojans in the tournament, and has now won 4 in a row vs. PHS in the postseason (2017, 2022, 2023, 2025). Portsmouth's 30 points was t...

Good post, biggdowgg. You are spot on with your points.

As biggdowgg posted above, these Lady Trojans are the definition of unselfish. Against PIketon, the 2 leading scorers were sophomores, Hayven Carter with 19 and KeKe Woods with 16. Normally JR Sienna Allen and SR Daysha Reid are the top scorers, but in this game they let Carter and Woods lead the way.

JR Sienna Allen's list of D1 offers continues to grow, as she is now up to 20. She could end up the all time leading scorer in PHS basketball history, boys or girls. The all time leading scorer currently is Kyre Allison, who amassed 1,688 points in his career, which spanned 2013-2016. Sienna has alr...

The Lady Trojans opened up tournament play Monday with a 62-42 win over the Piketon Lady Redstreaks. The #1 D5 Poll Champion PHS started the game up 7-2, and opened up a 14 point lead in the 2nd quarter, but Piketon stayed competitive with some 3 ball shooting. Leading the charge for the Lady Trojan...

Portsmouth and South Point have met 9 times in the tournament, with the Trojans holding a 6-3 lead. The Pointers, though, have won the last 3. Here is the breakdown of the two teams postseason history: 1969: PHS 69, SP 57 (district championship) 1986: PHS 46, SP 45 (sectional championship) 1987: PHS...
