Cmon Black Panther have a lil faith

Being too faithful and loyal are two of my many faults.

Seen ovc schedule. Let's go TROJANS!!!!!!!!!

[Cyrus Cobain]

When are going to start a thread for The Portsmouth Lady Trojans only.The rest of the OVC is just details.

[trojandave]

Hopefully the Lady Trojans will be in great shape by the first day of practice. That has been seriously lacking in the program for quite a while. I watch several games a year and it strikes me how the opponent is always in better shape than the Lady Trojans.

I think Amy Hughes is a great hire, and I have told her to get her girls in shape. If that happens, great conditioning alone will make the Lady Trojans much more competitive on the scoreboard, and most likely will result in more wins. I know that conditioning is an aspect of basketball that is quite often overlooked and not regarded in high esteem. Lack of conditioning will result in more turnovers, bad shots, more missed layups/FT's, and lazy defense. Great conditioning doesn't take great athletic ability, instead it takes a high level of self-motivation to significantly improve cardiovascular endurance. Basketball is a running sport, and not being able to run up the court on a repeated basis and keep up with the opponent makes a difference on the scoreboard. Lack of conditioning tells me immediately that an individual doesn't want to be a serious basketball player.

I want to see the girls play under Coach Hughes leadership. I know Amy will take care of the X's and O's, so hopefully the girls will show some self-motivation to get themselves in great shape. That will make her job much easier, and make them much better as a team.

GO LADY TROJANS!!

What happen to Lexi Arden from Ironton . Heard she had knee problems.

[Bengalsrule]

tore her acl

[artisgilmore]

You mean for a second time?

[Bengalsrule]

yes, the other knee this time. daggone shame.

[Westfan]

That's terrible. She's a great player. Prayers to her

[Trojan Horse]

Portsmouth is improved but has a ways to go. West shot the ball really good in the scrimmage and beat us pretty handily

[Dnice]

Trojans looked a lot better against Wheelersburg. A lot of work still needs to be done, but I seen a lot of improvement from their first scrimmage and their second one. All I can see isthey will continually get better. Once again I'm going to say that the portsmouth point guard is really really tough. When she relaxes and slows down she looked to me pretty much Unstoppable!!!!!!

[captainmorgan_]

well that changes things for ironton with arden out. i hate hearing this shes such a good player and kid.

[ohbuckeye2]

tore her acl

Prayers for a quick and healthy recovery, how long ago did this happen? Will Lexi be out for the year or will she be back?

[Bengalsrule]

In the summer at a travel basketball tournament, she is out for the year, will be back for her sr yr.

Fairland and Ironton would have been my top 2 picks before Arden was out but its going to hurt losing the best player in the league to an injury.
