Gallia gets its 17th win over the Trojans. Really like both these schools. Neither playing the kind of ball they used to.

[jottings]

Trojandaave...Could u send me an updated Portsmouth roster? Thanks.

[kvnchambers]

if gallia does not get any play makers back. they will have to hold Portsmouth to maybe 7 points or less to have a shot.

[jottings]

GAHS rea.ly missed Wes Jarrell, Eli Miller and Blake Wilson last week. Jarrell and Miller did not dress because of injuries. Wilson played very little. That's most of Gallia's offense and defense.

[noreply66]

If Dickerson stays at QB this week i see a much better Portsmouth team this week. Looking for a lot of point in this one with the Trojans pulling this one out.

How long are they out?

[jottings]

Don't know. Gallipolis' opponents have won 29 and lost 13.

I think the Devils bounce back this week, if not it could be a long last 3 games. I hope the boys ain't quit!
I have heard that Portsmouth is one of the fastest teams in Southern Ohio this year? Anyone?

[TrojanXplosion]

They may be fast but they sure cant tackle.

Very out of synce since Oliver went down. He was Mr. Everything for them, literally. I'd love to see Portsmouth relevant again.

We also lost to 2-4 Marietta, but we will be judged on how well we play against the Seoal teams, some folks want us to schedule down in coming years. I don't ! I think the tough schedule is what makes us what we have been in the past and prepares us for the playoffs. We used to expect to beat mediocre teams now we just want to squeak by them.

[BBallin fool]

jmo GA football or sports ARE ON a down hill roll!!! :122247

[BBallin fool]

Been going on for a long time!!!

[devilfan08]

Yes has been going on a long time remember When players played that could not play there hat size. Its the down fall

[ohbuckeye2]

The Trojans do have some speed, Robinson is a good RB that can break one open at any time. Sky Oliver was a big loss but the Freshmen QB is getting some good experience. I think the Trojans get the win.

[BurgGrad6]

Ptown gets in the win column this week!!
