Chesapeake 72 Portsmouth 62 Final 2/17

[OZZIEOHIO]

Well if your buying, the Texas Road house isnt that far out of the way on our way up there.

Portsmouth puts its perfect non-conference record of 6-0 on the line as they travel to CHS to take on a good Chesapeake squad. The Trojans also have the opportunity to win 10 games in the regular season for the first time since 2002......and it is the last week of the regular season.......so there is plenty of motivation for the Trojans to play hard and play well.

I have seen Chesapeake twice, and I think to beat the Panthers, the Trojans have to guard sophomore guard Nathan Copley and senior forward Kyle Webb. Trent Saunders is very scrappy on the boards at 6-1........the Panthers prefer to play uptempo and it will be interesting to see if the Trojans press Chesapeake........Portsmouth has been using the press more and more in the last several games.

Should be a very tough test for the Trojans, but with the tournament right around the corner, this is a good game for Portsmouth.......it would be nice to see us get that 10th win that has eluded us since 2002.

GO TROJANS!!!

Tobias: No thanks on the dinner........I don't want 3 hot dogs for a $1.00.......

IF Portsmouth plays defense, they can win this game. The Peake will be well coached and playing in their gym, they are very very tough.

Tre Underwood has played his way into a lot more playing time lately. The 6-2 sophomore is a warrior on the boards, will hit the deck for loose balls, will challenge an opponent on defense, and has been able to score around the bucket in addition to dishing out some close-in assists. His play is certainly a welcome addition the Trojans depth............

Is Cadogen still on the team? I haven't noticed his name in the box score for a couple of games now.

Dave if your Trojans can stop one of the scorers Webb or Copley I think you guys will pull out the victory.

[hoopscoop]

[OZZIEOHIO]

Tobias that is mighty big of you to offer to buy dinner. I always figured you had class.

As good as these two are, you have to be right on them. I like the amoeba, though.....



Heck, I wasn't going to buy their dinner, I was going to offer them free peanuts!

I can eat enough peanuts, to make my dinner

[Ptown Playmaker]

Guys............would love to be there.........but a tournament game with the little one is on tap for tonight at 7:00pm for playmaker......enjoy the food and the game......

[trojandave]

hoopscoop: There is tonight's game at Chesapeake, then Warren comes to Portsmouth on Thursday, then there is the Day of Champions on Saturday.......not sure as to who the opponent will be, but it will be a road game.......at Warren, at Marietta, or at Logan..........the SEOAL has a Day of Champions which pits teams in each division against each other in terms of their corresponding place.......for instance, the 3rd place South team plays the 3rd place North team........this year the Day of Champions is at the North school. There is only 1 game at each North school.

The overall league championship is going to be Chillicothe at Zanesville on Saturday.

Hope to see you at the games.........

The sectional at Waverly is next Monday at 5:00 vs. Minford........if the Trojans win that game, then they would play #1 seed North Adams (currently undefeated) the following Friday.......I believe game time for that is 6:00.

[trojandave]

The Trojans have practiced an ameba defense.......they may not use it for this game, but they are familiar with it.

[Tigfan]

I'd say the North Adams folks will keep an eye on this one so they can gauge what they might be up against in the tourney having played the Peake already. Should be a great game.

Any score?????
