What is particularly sweet about making the Final 4 is that not too long ago the Portsmouth Lady Trojans program was mired near or at the bottom of the OVC, with many games not being competitive. In fact it had been nearly 40 years since a district championship. Now Coaches Amy and Mike Hughes have ...

JonJon: Thanks for the info on Shaker Heights. Still think the Lady Dragons have a great chance to make the championship game.

Mc1196: The Fairland Lady Dragons made the Final 4 in 2014, 2015, 2023, and now 2024. They haven't won the state title as of yet. The Fairland boys made the Final 4 in 1961 and 2017, and both teams lost in the semifinals. My point above is that Portsmouth, Eastern Meigs, and Oak Hill are the only 3 ...

Congratulations to the Lady Wildcats from this Portsmouth Trojans fan. The tournament tradition at Waterford continues with another Final 4 trip.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LADY TROJANS PLAYERS AND COACHES ON MAKING THE FINAL 4!! ANOTHER CHAPTER OF BASKETBALL HISTORY HAS YET AGAIN BE MADE AT PORTSMOUTH HS!! Our Lady Trojans might just have the youngest starting lineup in the Final 4 in any division!! It's not common to see a Final 4 team that sta...

Very proud of our Final 4 bound Lady Trojans!! It wasn't the prettiest game on offense, but as usual Portsmouth's defense was the big difference. Now on to Dayton, where the competition is tough but Portsmouth has already beaten Fairland and Shaker Heights Laurel, who are playing in one of the D2 se...

Portsmouth ends this season with an all time record of 1,532--854. Coach Lisath's 17 wins in his 1st year at PHS coach is the 3rd highest total for a 1st year Trojan HC. Only Joe Suboticki (27-1 in 1988), and Tom Smith (20-4 in 1982) had more.

Congratulations to the Lady Dragons on their regional title, and now back to back Final 4 appearances. Just to add for those that didn't know, the Portsmouth Lady Trojans defeated Shaker Heights Laurel 46-38 in the regular season. The Lady Dragons have a great opportunity to advance to the champions...

Hoopie74: Not everyone as you say is overlooking North Adams. You're saying it. I and a lot of Trojan fans, myself and biggdowgg included, know that our Lady Trojans have to play a good game to advance to the Final 4. It's a 1 game scenario, not a best of 7. North Adams is a good team, and they've e...

The Lady Trojans have had a roster of only 9 girls all season and have done very well to date, going 21-5, beating Fairland and tying for the OVC title. Now playing for the Final 4 with that same roster. They have been tried and tested many times along the way.

GO LADY TROJANS!!

Going into a deeper dive into the history that the Lady Trojans could make, if they can win Saturday they would join Reedsville Eastern (Eastern Meigs) as the only SE schools to make the Final 4 in boys and girls and have won a state title in either. Eastern defeated Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans in t...

I second that, Jonjon! Go Lady Trojans and Lady Dragons!

Jeff, you and your staff did an outstanding job this season bringing Portsmouth basketball its first winning season in 5 years, first sectional title since 2017, and the highest finish in the OVC since 2016. You represented PHS with class and integrity, your kids responded positively to your demands...

Thanks for the updated time, biggdowgg and danicalifornia.

Round 2 for Pizza Crossing in Logan on Saturday!!

With a win Saturday, the Portsmouth Lady Trojans could make history on two fronts. First, it would be the 1st Final 4 in school history, and 2nd it would put PHS in an exclusive club of SE district schools that have made the state tournament in both boys and girls basketball. Here are the 10 SE scho...

Bring your best Lady Dragons and good things will happen!!

BRING YOUR BEST LADY TROJANS ON SATURDAY, AND GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!!

Very proud of this team for what they've accomplished thus far.......and there's still some fruit to pick off the tree!!

This is the last year that there will be a 4 division system. The OHSAA will go to a 7 division system starting next season. It will be interesting to see how that affects district and regional play. Now there's about 200 schools in each division; next season the projection is for the D1 and D2 divi...

I'm not optimistic at all about the Trojans in the OVC next season. 4 of 5 starters gone which accounted for about 45-55 points. DeAndre Berry is a huge loss. JV went 5-14. PHS will have trouble offensively, but Malachi Loper will pass 1,000 points. Hopefully Coach Lisath will get his kids to D up h...

Nothing is a given in regional play, no matter how much of a favorite a certain team is. It's a 1 game scenario. I've seen our Lady Trojans beat Fairland, and if they bring that level of play to Logan, they will be hard to beat.
