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 starts 2 freshmen. Ottawa-Glandorf will be a tough opponent, but the Trojans already have wins over Fairland and Shaker Heights Laurel, two teams that are playing in one of the two D2 semifinals.

Fairland boys made it in 2017 I believe and girls a few times

9 of the last 11 decades a Portsmouth HS basketball team, either boys or girls, has made the state tournament. PHS is now 1 of only 2 schools in the SE district that has made the Final 4 in boys and girls basketball, and has a state championship in at least 1 of the 2. Eastern Meigs (Reedsville Eastern)made the boys Final 4 in 2001, while the girls won the D4 state in 2014.

In fact it had been nearly 40 years since a district championship. Now Coaches Amy and Mike Hughes have taken this program to a brand new level, so much so that playing in the state tournament seemed a thousand miles away in just the recent past. We have a group of girls that have dedicated themselves to hard work, and they are now reaping the rewards of that hard work.

It will seem almost surreal to see our Lady Trojans take the court at 8:00 PM on Thursday in front of thousands of fans, far different that the scant following when times were tough. I'm quite sure that our Lady Trojans will be ready to play their best, and make all Trojan fans and alumni very proud.

GO LADY TROJANS!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Mike Hughes is a great coach. Assume his daughter took after him.

Burg has made the final four in boys and girls. Never won the state though.
