Portsmouth @ Ironton tuesday the 19th

[biggdowgg]

always a very good game , Ironton will more then likely try to slow it down while the Trojans will more then likey try to push it a little bit,one thing I am looking forward to this year is he heat inside that gym,lol

Portsmouth will have to shoot well to win. I don't see the Trojans getting too many rebounds. If the Tigers contest the deep 3's, then they might be able to pull the upset.

we have to shoot well in all our games everyone is bigger then us ,lol. we do have a couple kids that dont care to battle in the paint though

I believe the Fighting Tigers will be playing without their leading scorer Kratzenburg, he has missed the last two games with an injury.

hate to hear that, so he was not in the line up when wheelersburg came from 15 down?

No, He didn't play against Coal Grove or Wheelersburg.

If the Malone(I think is his name)kid shoots as well as he did Saturday off the bench, and you shoot your foul shots well again anyone will have trouble with your team. Trojans ball movement is really good. They don't settle for bad shots. Good luck.

This is the 153rd meeting between the Trojans and Fighting Tigers. Portsmouth leads the overall series 87-65, and in tournament play the Trojans have an 8-7 edge, with PHS beating IHS in the 2012 regional final 50-40, and the 2015 regional semifinal 72-51. The Trojans are looking to end a 4 game losing streak on Ironton's home court. Portsmouth last beat the Fighting Tigers at the Conley Center 66-41 in 2011.

Anyone have a score ??

[asb]

Who won??

[Moses Guthrie]

I believe it was 66-50 Trojans

[trojandave]

Good win by the Trojans, especially showing some clutch play in the 4th quarter. Ironton was down only 48-47 early in the last 8 minutes, but Portsmouth sealed the game with some excellent defense and outstanding FT shooting, going 18-21 from the stripe.

free throws was the deciding factor
