2017 Portsmouth West Senators

[Westfan]

I think West will be solid this year. Hopefully someone will step up and become a difference maker on offense. We haven't had a gamebreaker for a while.

[Game day]

Any word on the West Side?

[DMUP]

They should be loaded with juniors and seniors. These groups were dominant few yrs back

[Westfan]

Watched a little bit of football camp. Looked like around 50 players. All classes in the high school are good classes. The senior class has lost a few over the years but still solid. Junior class is good. West has a very good coaching staff. If the injury bug stays away West will be a tough out this year.

[Game day]

I have heard the same thing the last couple years that this would be the year for West. The schedule should allow 8 wins for sure and possible playoffs.

[Westfan]

Last year's senior class was the smallest and least talented as a whole in several years. Team competed well being young with a bunch of key injuries.

Rumor mill is Portsmouth is bringing them in from afar. Wheelersburg and Waverly will be good again. Fairland has 2 of the best players in the area. They always play West tough the first game.

If West stays healthy I think 8 wins is an achievable goal.

Lets hope Waverly beats them big this year

Waverly has nothing but respect for West; it's been earned over the years. They gave us all we wanted last year and it will be even more of a challenge going to their place this time round. I'm looking for West to have a real nice season.

Any news on former West Player Pendelton and the NFL? or what he is doing now?

This is the dark horse of southeastern Ohio. Probably the most physical team burg played last year! Look for west to be a real contender for the soc!

I second your thoughts on when Waverly and West play each other. A history stretching over 60 years of hard hitting football. The teams may not like each other, but there is grudging respect. As to 2017, the Senators(Siders?) are due for a good season.

[Game day]

I think all the West fans are excited for the season to start.

He has a place called the Freak Factory. He is working out kids to help them be the best than can be and reach their full potential.

[BigBlueNation]

Staying healthy and o-line play is going to be the key for West this year. They have been hit hard with injuries the last few years. They will be a tough out for sure this year.

Great for him. I knew his college coaches thought he would go into coaching. This is a form of coaching. Great role model for kids and adults. Where is this place?

How have they done in their passing tournaments?

Talking to one of the players the other day. He said they done really well.

[Game day]

Watched the Ironton scrimmage West had some players out but what has happened to the hard hitting West teams of the past? Good luck this year West needs a good season!

I also watched the game and you are correct Gameday, they didn't hit very well. They looked like they were trying to hit with their hands. The O line stood up and didn't fire off ball. The backs were getting hit before they could get started. I watched these kids when they were freshmen and they would hit !!!!! Don't know what has happened but if they don't go back to hitting they will have a long year again. The first QB has a great arm and usually very accurate but looked off Friday. The second one looked very good running and only threw a cpl times but was on time and accurate. The 1st Qb wouldn't tuck the ball and run, when he did he would run forward 3 yards then backwards 5. They should win some games though.
