What about next season for Portsmouth? Many questions with many possible answers. Probably the #1 question facing the 2021-22 Trojans will be on the offensive side of the court. Can PHS score enough to give themselves a chance to win. 10 times the Trojans scored 46 points or less, and all 10...

Thanks 3out2in...........unfortunately, what was expected did happen. Fairland completely dominated from the opening tip and handed Portsmouth one of, if not the worst margin of defeat in PHS tournament history with a 85-47 win in the D3 sectional championship @FHS. It got so out of hand in the...

It will take almost a Biblical miracle for Portsmouth's season to continue after tonight, as the Trojans travel to Proctorville to take on the Fairland Dragons, who got the #1 seed in SE D3. PHS has a 12 game losing streak to FHS, with the majority of those games being blowouts. During that 12...

Springfield in 1950 won the Class AA state title after finishing last in the Greater Ohio League. The Wildcats ended up 19-7.

My Portsmouth Trojans would love to have a 10-5 record considering we are going to have 3 straight losing seasons counting this one.

A day after beating Belpre in the sectional tournament, Portsmouth lost at Rock Hill 56-52 in their final OVC game of the year. The Redmen were 1-82 going back 6 years in OVC play, and their only win came in the 2015 season. The Trojans came into the game 5-8 in the OVC, and with a win could...

The Southeast District has not won a Final 4 state semifinal game since 2012, when Portsmouth beat Ottawa-Glandorf 74-66 in the D3 semifinals. The very next year, in 2013, Warren Local in D2 and Ironton in D3 made the state semis, only to get knocked out before the championship game. In 2016...

Portsmouth plays at home vs. Belpre tonight in the first round of the D3 sectional. Because of Covid, neutral sites are not being used this year and limited attendance policy is still in place. If the Trojans win, they advance to play at Fairland on Friday for the sectional championship...

Things could be looking brighter for the Trojans next season, as freshmen DeAndre Berry and Devin Lattimore have positively impacted the varsity team, scoring 31 points between them in the last 2 games. They should be a lock to start on the varsity next season, and with the offensive ability of...

Portsmouth has officially rescheduled the game at Rock Hill for Tuesday, Feb. 23. That is the day after the Trojans open tournament play with a sectional opener vs. Belpre at PHS. The winner of that game will play at #1 seed Fairland on Friday, Feb.26. The Portsmouth Junior High 7th and 8th...

Speaking of great leagues, Portsmouth was a member of the Greater Ohio League from the mid 40's to the mid 70's. The league's steady members were Middletown, Hamilton, Lima, Springfield, and Portsmouth. Chillicothe and Mansfield were members briefly. From 1944 to 1961, the GOL produced 11 big...

No official word yet on the North Adams or Rock Hill games, but Rock Hill must be played because it's an OVC game. Portsmouth right now is 5-8 in OVC play, and need a win over RH to match last year's conference record of 6-8. Over the last 6 years, the Trojans are 41-42 in OVC play, and were the...

Portsmouth is supposed to play North Adams on Monday, and at Rock Hill on Tuesday to finish the regular season. With the weather forecast, those games most likely will be postponed, with the NA game probably canceled.

Portsmouth's offensive woes returned Saturday night, as the Fairland Dragons came to PHS and handed the Trojans a 60-41 loss. It was the 9th time that Portsmouth has scored less than 50 points in a game this season, losing all 9 of those games. PHS actually had a 15-10 lead after the 1st...

BBJunky81: I don't have my own computer, so I post reports at the PPLibrary, which is closed on Wednesday. I am using a friend's computer right now. As far as the game, Hacker was out, but once again the Trojans had another poor offensive game. The 44 points vs. Ironton was the 8th time that...
