[TrojanXplosion]

That gym was rocking tonight. I got news for people....Portsmouth is for real!

[KVDW]

WOW!!!!!! just like the old days,,what a game,,I knew my TRojans COULD do it, but we just had to go out and prove it....

this was a very great win by the Trojans with the entire team playing TEAM ball,,,just as they have done all year,these kids get along great and know each other capabilitys,and trust in one another..Dion Mckinley had a hug game against London,,,,even showed he is smooth from the 3 point line..... the rest of the Trojans had great games,I dont remember scoring,,but one thing I did notice,,this entire team can flat out play DEFENSE!!! a big part of this win.....


good luck to the Cavs , im Glad we wont have to meet them in the pay ofs,they will be a very tough out.

Trojans,,,,,dont celebrate to long,,back to buisness friday AT Marrietta.

Oh, you're giving "hugs" and "pay offs" now ??

Congratulations on another great win for the Trojans.

Portsmouth JV and Freshman both won, I had the scores but lost them somewhere. I know that Portsmouth Freshman team held Chilly to 0 points in the fourth period.

well,,Im still a little exited..you just had to be there 8)

this is the biggest win for the Trojans in a long time

Imo the changing point of the whole game at which time Chillicothe had it down to 3 is when Tyler got his technical plus a personal foul....a 6 point play...game over....

Yea the 9-0 run that sparked the Trojans. After Chilly had a great run to tie it AB hit a HUGE 3. That sparked the Trojans and then the technical after the foul stretched it out. Great job by all the Trojans!! Freshmen win by 10. JV by 14 or so and Varsity by 10. Also GREAT crowd. Great community support and all the RED! Definitely BIG time atmosphere. Also there was a Trojan missing tonight as assistant coach Jim Arnzen is supporting his family as his father a coaching legend at Delphos St. John, Bob Arnzen, is hospitalized. Prayers from Trojan Nation to the Arnzen family and a safe trip to Jim as weather isn't the greatest up north.

Good luck to Chillicothe the rest of the year. I'll be rooting for ya in a BIG run in the tourney!. Great game tonight Trojans! Time to get back to practice and keep improving and get ready to travel to Marietta Friday

Go TROJANS

Portsmouth v. Chesapeake will be the game of the year in southeastern Ohio whenever they hit in the tourney (Regional Finals?).*

Congrats to the Trojans on a big win for them. Unfortunately, I had to sit this one out due to family illness issues. a long week plus at Adena Regional. Could not get the radio cast but thank God or Al Gore got the Internet or texting.

Cavs will regroup and be better for it in the long run. Definite learning points as one technical is to many must less two of them on players in any game. I'm curious as to the comments that will come out but the one thing that has changed with the Trojans is defense. Defense is our staple in Chilly, so I'm sure the game was highly contested. Kids have to make shots and Ptown made more tonight.

Real interested in the team stats for the game. My keys were turnovers and defense. We usually turn the Trojans over a lot. My guess is that was lower than usual.

Cavs need to regroup and get ready for Friday night. Cavs still control their destiny in the league, but now Warren does to. Southeast District will be well represented by these two teams in the D2 and D3 sectionals

GO CAVS!

actually #5....oh well hats off to the Trojans they finally beat the Cavs....the game was fun to be at especially sitting in the midst of Trojan fans...alot of respect between the two teams....we could play a 10 game series and it would be even all the way....when the D3 sectional draw comes out i need to know when and where the Trojans will be at because when im not following my Cavs i will be following u guys.....i believe the Trojans will make a long tourney run...good luck the rest of the way...Chilly chilly chilly u guys almost made a complete come back....ALOT of missed lay ups! No need to hang your heads on this loss.....learn from it and keep getting better for the tourney...we will probably drop some spots in the elite 8,but it shouldnt be many....to me Portsmouth,Chillicothe,and Warren are the three best teams in the SE...all from the same conference......now back home against Gallia....time to bounce back BIG.....GO Cavs!
