Week 2 Portsmouth (1-0) at West (1-0)

[fan4sure]

That is all from me on this game will not say anything else, UNTIL we see the final score. Oh, by the way WEST WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FOURTYTWOISO]

I think the Trojans are use to this talk from West fans every year. But, yet West has only beaten the Trojans 4 times in the last 20 years. So I don't think the Trojans buy into all of the talk on the net. They obviously do it on Friday nights not Monday thru Thursday. Trojans by a score in this one, I'm going with history and West doesn't win many against the Trojans.

how many times have they played in 20 years? We've won 4 times in the 2000's and I know we didn't play several years in the 90's.

But hey, it makes perfect sense to use what happened 20 years ago as logic to pick a winner of a game where no kid will be over 19.

They have played 15 times in the last 20 years. My point is they call this a rivalry that's really been dominated by one side. That's not really a rivalry if you ask me when the other team very seldom wins. This series has been one sided and I think the trend continues on Friday. This group on Friday is 2-1 against West they know how to play this group of young men. The only lose coming when West was senior dominated and the Trojans started 14 sophs. And that was the only lose this senior group has lost to West their whole football playing days.

[Ptown Playmaker]

Today's the day....good luck Trojans and injury free to both teams!

[ptowntrojan_61]

blowout i say not, im going with Portsmouth by 2 scores. ok how is it for some reason West is always bigger faster and stronger then last year you west siders have been saying that for last decade we get it but be worned the Trojans are also BIGGER, FASTER and STRONGER. yea teams don't sit around all year and just hop into a uniform and go play football it is a 365 days a year sport. :12224

[sadie74]

GO SIDERS BEAT DOWN PTOWN!!!!!!! cant wait till this one is over. exiciting game where anyone can win just hope it is the SIDERS.

[west siders]

WHITE OUT AT THE ROCK TONIGHT!!

[LetsGoPSU]

You are correct. Every year its Beep Beep.......we shall see after the game......... Bet ya this tho. Win or lose, Ill be on here getting ready for Burg Week....and win the Siders will be living this one for the rest of the season. and lose..well they wont be around for awhile

[Westfan]

Fact is a very talented team will loose tonight. The winner will get alot of momentum and will be sitting pretty for a home playoff game. But either way, neither teams' season rests on this game. Their's a long way to go and both will probably be playoff teams. In fact their is a very good chance that the looser of this game will get a chance at redemption later in the year.

it would be good for our area to see these two teams do well ,and match up again later.

injury free to both teams...
GO TROJANS~!

GAME DAY!

Tonight's game will be played between 2 very good group of young men that will lay it all on the line. There is no love lost between these 2 teams. I hope everyone enjoys a great Friday Night and a great football game and don't get caught up in all the other stuff. Weather will not be a factor for either team tonight so I think the Trojans have an advantage of team talent and speed. Both defenses have their work cut out for them tonight. I think it will be like last year the team that has the ball last will probably win this game. Both team will score more then 20 with the Trojans winning 28-20. Siderman, I agree that both teams will be playoff teams and a rematch either way will likely happen. I hope both teams come out health and have a great game. GO TROJANS

[trojanofthepast]

Tonight's game will be big points and momentum for the rest of the year. Pendleton is a beast and very hard to stop for any team. Myers to me is the best athlete in the area so these 2 are a push talent wise. The Trojans line I think is a little better then West and more experienced with 2 (4yr letters), and 2 (3 yr letters) on that line. The receivers are by far the Trojans with Simpson,Royster,and Evans. If West can dominate the time of possession and keep the offense of the field they will win this game. If the Trojans score early and apply pressure to West to score the Trojans will win this game. A lot of West people on here consider this team soft for some reason. Yet this group of seniors has dominated that group from West their whole life. It comes down to which team wants it more and none of us will know that until about 10 tonight. I think the TROJANS

[QB4]

I Still Take West!! Good Luck to Both teams though!

[PTrojan59]

I think this is going to be a heck of a game. Every1 should get there monies worth. Lets Go Portsmouth

[TheMalteseFalcon]

The Trojans line I think is a little better then West and more experienced with 2 (4yr letters), and 2 (3 yr letters) on that line.

Since nobody has lettered in football yet this year, would that make these two a couple of those 5th YEAR SENIORS we're always hearing so much about in Portsmouth???

[PTrojan59]

Gonna be one heck of a crowd very hostile inviorment it will be cant wait
