Final: Portsmouth 66 @ Logan 54

[trojandave]

Portsmouth finishes the season on the road with games at Logan and at Warren........I look for our kids to come out focused and ready to play.......they know what lies ahead the following week.........we have been playing outstanding basketball the second half of the season.......I would really like to see our kids finish with two wins and stay INJURY FREE!!

Win out and Portsmouth will finish alone in 2nd in the SEOAL, its best finish ever, and also post the best regular season since 1991.

GO TROJANS!!!

trojandave,,,the next two games will show what kind of character this team has built...Logan is not a easy place to win and Warren is going to be plenty ready after the heartbreak to Chilli...Coach has to keep the boys focused and sharp...Must have NO letdowns or repeats of the last few years come Sectional time!!!!!!!

Coach Rhea and Coach Nelson told me that they are returning on Friday night and going back to Warren on Saturday.

wasn't sure,,I know there was talk of them staying over nite when the game was rescheduled......thats a lot of miles back to back days,and then have to play on both dyas also....

Biggdowgg i have also heard from a good source the trojans would be staying over night and then going to warren on saturday !

[OZZIEOHIO]

I heard they were staying at a Holiday Inn Exspress In Athens then watching OU play on sat, then to Warren for the game that night.

[biggdowgg]

OU plays away on the 19th, according to the schedule I seen.

[biggdowgg]

Any updates?

The Portsmouth men beat Logan tonight 66-54. Not a pretty game for the Trojans, but it was a win. That's 10 in a row.
Another long bus ride to Warren tomorrow!

Congrats to the Trojans on the win, alot closer game than I thought it would be.

[jottings]

Got a reserve score final? Thanks.

[trojandave]

Congratulations to the Trojans on last night's win, and also to Logan for playing very hard on their senior night........Portsmouth played much better D in the second half to give them a cushion.......PHS was up 66-50 and then the Chieftains scored 2 baskets for the final margin........#11 on Logan had an outstanding shooting game, but the Trojans did a better job on him in the second half.

With the win over Logan, Portsmouth now has gone 16-0 the last 2 years vs. Logan, Jackson, Gallia Academy, and Marietta........the Trojans' 15th win marked the 36th time in school history that a Portsmouth boys basketball team won at least 15 games.

Portsmouth is 9-0 since Andrew Bendolph returned in early January.

PHS had 4 players in double figures, created 20 Logan turnovers to only 7 themselves, and outrebounded the Chieftains 30-23.

GO TROJANS!!
