I remember going to see practice when Subaticki<spel...coached at Portsmouth, didnt seem to bother them kids, he won a state Title.

if Shoemaker would read the preps , maybe he could learn how to handle HIS team everyone here seems to have it figured out. :roll:

I tell you what gripes me is. People who don't even have kids that go to PORTSMOUTH HS are here telling what will work and what won't. I think they need to be worried about the programs they say they support and leave PORTSMOUTH alone.

you must be an outstanding coach whay arent you running the helm at wheelersburg high school? you sure stick that nose in everyone elses teams , why not help out your own



We already have a very good coach at Wheelersburg who is doing quite well this season with a group of kids that nobody gave a chance to win 10 games this year. So thanks, but no thanks.

Wow --was mistaken thought this was a PUBLIC forum . Do we need trojan blood to be able to state an opinion ? most people griping about the trojans are hoping they succeed and quit wasting all that talent .

You don't have to have Trojan blood to have an opinion but when that opinion constantly tears a team down the line will be drawn. It is no conceren of outsiders what move the coach makes.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but always be aware that someone........like myself.......will offer a strong rebuttal to an opinion. I took a strong rebuttal for my "ALL CAPS" post a while back.......but I stand by what I said.......the people who said those things deserved to be called out.

I do have a problem when someone doesn't watch a team that much at all yet profuses to know all the problems with that team and how to solve them. It's one thing to watch a team play and evaluate their performance on the court........BUT it's a different issue altogether when an individual tries to make statements on internal matters when all they have seen is that team's play on the court.

If you want to act like you know a lot about the Trojans, then go to more games....talk to the coaches.......watching one or two games doesn't make you an expert on matters concerning Portsmouth basketball. And if you're listening to other people tell you about the Trojans, try forming your own opinion. First hand knowledge is much better than second hand news.

GO TROJANS!!!

no one expects anyone to be a trojan faithfull for tyheir opnions, but like all programs, the people that go to all the games,and that are around the program year round, can better see what goes on,and how it is dealt with.

a lot of times the displine matters are not posted on here, so there for the people reading doesnt know what was done, I know of at least one player that has not dressed for a couple of games for us,and a couple others that did not dress for the JV team, do to displine problems of one kind or another, I would bet anyone not attending Portsmouth games dosnt even know this, even people from Portsmouth.

I try myself NOT to post on them,or mention it or the kids names, but I do know the coach took appropriate actions on each one of them.

just trying to point out, that when someone sees kids do something,then get on here and say they have no diispline, that they dont always know full story.

like Dave said , everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Dave, I know this post is directed towards me and that's fine. But I have been around and played enough basketball to get a good feel of a teams tendencies by watching them a couple of times. I have seen the Burg game live, on ZoneSports and I also watched the Portsmouth/Chilli game on Zones Sports and I believe my assessment is correct, but then again that's just my opinion. As for the practice thing, I just know that a lot of coaches, Barrick included, don't want a bunch of spectators, especally parents, watching their practices. I guess if Shoemaker is fine with it then so be it. It's his team.

I will refrain from posting anything else on a Portsmouth thread since obviously I'm an "outsider" who doesn't know what the hell he 's talking about.

Good luck the rest of the season.

IMO if the trojans press and turn the D up they will beat the tigers. Marietta is not a very deep team and I don't think the handle the press very well with that in mind I see the trojans winning by 6-10 points. This is a big game for both teams not only league standings but more importantly sectional seedings.

Maybe the discipline has started working.......I have heard two are gone from the JV team and 1 from the varsity..........is this true?
My work has kept me from attending tonights game..........I attend every athletic function I can...winning seasons or losing seasons....I live here, work here and my kids go to school here..........in my opinion, we do have discipline issues....(other places also)....I was raised old school....you follow coaches instructions, you're on time, you show up for each practice, you give 100% effort and you do good in school......with this....you get rewarded....privileges to play....this way of life starts out at home and must be followed thru all the way to the coaching staffs.......I can only hope things will get better and wish my Trojans success!

Trojan Dave caled me at half time, we was winning 27 to 26 at half, then he caled after the game, we lost 57 to 55, and had the bal with 6 seconds left and a shot to win the game, he said we played a GREAT GAME, Forrest Johnson had a big game and scored around 15, Torey Horne run the point and had about the same.

he also said Zack Link had a nice game after struggling a couple of games.
Bendolh and Cadogan did not play.

Dave said this was probably our best performance of the year.
