Final: Cleveland Central Catholic 58 Portsmouth 47

[4thgoal]

Need to get Zaide back in the game, even if he has 4 fouls

[bvmv4life]

The Grady kid took over he has 22...

[FANOSPORTS]

McKinley misses two free throws for the second time in the half.

Trojans down 9

Yeah 4ever, they've missed a bunch of those lately. You gotta get points with the clock stopped, that's for sure.

Need to get Zaide back in the game, even if he has 4 fouls

Agree

[FANOSPORTS]

1:49 "DEFENSE RIGHT NOW" !!!!!

[FANOSPORTS]

Wouldn't you know it, in the 4th qtr. CCC's three other starter's are hitting everything they throw up now

[FANOSPORTS]

Coach must have yelled at Grady at halftime , I wish he wouldn't have.

[The D]

Cant see the game but perhaps the reason the Trojans are launching so many threes is because they are tired of Grady blocking their shots

or simply desperate.....

[caglewis]

CCC 56 -47 over Portsmouth with just seconds left.
Good game - good effort Trojans.

[FANOSPORTS]

CCC hitting their ft's and P'town player's are not. That makes a big difference when you're trying to make runs and stop the clock. Free throws are so important. Some kids just don't understand the magnitude of free throws in today's game.

[FANOSPORTS]

I seemed like a replay of the Duke - Arizona game last night (7-8 point lead and half and lose by double digits).

Great season Trojan's, you did SEO proud :aaaaa56

[4thgoal]

Grady ended up with 26 points, 22 rebounds and 7 blocks....wow!

I was hoping to watch Portsmouth play tomorrow on tv, but Grady will be interesting to watch. Nice run Trojans!

[Chieftain]

As I advised , CCC is pretty good. Had picked them by 5 over the Trojans. Grady should give Taft a run for their money. Looking for a close game that CCC could win, but think Taft will edge by 1 or 2.

Congrats to Trojans on a good season.

Great year. Sounded like Grady was the man. Trojans will be very good next year as well.

[FANOSPORTS]

Coach Collins just said on the postgame show that the OHSAA representatives told him that Portsmouth sold all 1,800 of their allotted tickets and that was the most of any team up here this weekend. He also put out kudo's to all the people from Portsmouth, Scioto County and all of Southern Ohio that supported the Trojan's this week and throughout the tournament. That was nice of him to acknowledge everyone and to say that. Good job coach.

[Chesapeake]

Taft will destroy CCC.

[datchillicav]

Congratulations to the Trojans. You represented the City of Portsmouth, the SEOAL, and Southeastern Ohio well. Great season that I'm sure will be remembered by all involved for the rest of their lives. Again, Congratulations.

Great season for the Trojans. Nothing today will wipe away the tears or heal the heartbreak, however overtime, these kids will realize what a great run they had.

Congrats to Coach Collins for getting the Trojans back to the mountaintop. He has done a tremendous job.

As for the game, I just saw CCC outscored the Trojans 30-8 in the paint. I thought Grady was special 2 years ago. With a 26 pt, 22 reb and 7 blk stat line, he is even more special now.

[biggdowgg]

Grady was to long and tough for us on the inside game,,he blocked about everything we put up under the basket.....

good luck to CCC Tommorow.

Hold your heads high Trojans, you had a great season,,,you beat some very good teams along the way, you proved a lot of doubters wrong, only 4 teams left today out of all the teams in the state of Ohio, in each division, and you were one of them in yours,,,it is a very big deal to play in the final 4 .

to our 2 seniors,, Tre Underwood , and Andrew Bendolph thanks for all the hard work,and all the fun times..best of luck to both of you..I understand you are both getting some looks for the next level.

the fan support was great today ,,glad to see so many people in the Schott wearing red and blue....what a crowd

[Burg_Grad_77]

Taft will destroy CCC.

A lot of people thought the same thing about Chesapeake over Portsmouth. It's tourney time and anything can happen.


Congrats to the Trojans on a great season ans a spectacular tournament run.
