Portsmouth had to go on the road that one year and play Cincinnati Indian Hill and they came away with the win (I think).

If they can get in the groove early, they can win this game.

Good luck Trojans against Licking Heights. They play 4 Div. V teams and 4 Div VI teams, so the Trojans schedule should really help them out. They have played a much tougher schedule this year.

Trojans will kick the dog crap out of L.H. !! ;-)

Congratulations to the Trojan players and coaches on the playoff berth. Playing in the postseason is not something that happens every year, so playing in week 11 is special.

If the Trojans play the way that they are capable of playing, they can do well next Saturday. Licking Heights will be a demanding test, but PHS has the talent to win this game. But with the postseason comes a higher level of play required to advance, and hopefully our kids will be up to the task.

Playing a schedule that included Logan and Zanesville should help Portsmouth in the postseason. 2 teams in the SEOAL that went 9-1 and 8-2, respectively, and both made the playoffs in D2. Portsmouth's 8-2 mark is its best since 2002.

CONGRATULATIONS TROJANS!!! PLAY YOUR BEST AGAINST LICKING HEIGHTS!!

I'd guess there won't be alot of talk back and forth between the teams fans this week, seeing how there isn't alot of Licking Heights fans on this site.

Maybe some will join just so they can talk about the game.

Does LH have a turff or a grass field?

thats neat, we need something like that in the ironton program , for our seniors. ashland does this in their game programs, and it's alweays an interesting read. GOOD LUCK TO THE TROJANS OF PORTSMOUTH, THEY WILL BE 1 HARD TEAM TO BEAT, NOW THAT THEY ARE BACK TO PLAYING D4 TEAMS.

Just my thoughts on this and I will make it short.

I can't see the Trojans losing this game unless they beat themselfs.

Portsmouth98 · Post by **Portsmouth98** » Sat Oct 27, 2007 6:25 pm

I honestly don't know enough about Licking Heights to make a prediction, on paper we look like a more battle hardened team but we also took in a big experience advantage versus New Albany in 2004.

Good Luck Trojans. We'll be supporting you from CAV Country. Represent the SEOAL with pride.

For some reason, I thought Portsmouth was down since 2000. I guess it's not the decade of despair after all. Good Luck in the playoffs!!!! :-D
