As far as transfers, Connie Thomas, Daquan Woods from ND, Logan Adkins from Wheelersburg, another incoming freshman (first name CreShawn), I believe he was at ND, and and Manny Thomas, Connie's brother, who will be an 8th grader. C.Thomas, D.Woods, and L.Adkins will all be juniors. Of course things ...

Correction on the Rio shootout.......the PHS JV beat the Fairland JV, and the varsity went 2-1.

Peake71: Your OVC defending champion Panthers should be a contender once again in 2024-25. Of course they will have to replace the OVC POY Danny Maynard.

I didn't go to the Rio Grande Shootout, but my source told me that the varsity Trojans went 3-1, losing to S.Webster, then beat Cabell Midland, Fairland, and Coal Grove. Good showing considering that PHS was playing some new additions that haven't had much time playing together. The JV Trojans went ...

I got to know Mr.Smith when I subbed for him at East HS. Great guy, and sad to hear of his passing.

What I want to see is a better passing game this season whoever the QB is. We do have Chase Heiland back, but we can't just run a one dimensional offense even though Chase is a really good football player. We have to be able to throw the ball vertically and stretch the field, which will make Chase m...

Hoping for a home playoff game, but the Trojans have fared well on the road the past 3 seasons in the 1st round:

2021: PHS 28, at Zane Trace 22
2022: PHS 28, at Belmont Union Local 26
2023: PHS 50, at Fairland 38 (Fairland beat PHS 43-27 at Fairland in the regular season)

The mental approach for today's athletes is very much an important inclusion into their overall development in their chosen sport. Hopefully this book will help those athletes and parents who are in need of advice in dealing with the issues that can profoundly affect an athlete's success. Eugene and...

FalconFever02: After reading the guidelines for the new divisions for next season, I believe you are correct in your statement, with the exception being that there are some schools that could opt into D1 based on the passing of a referendum. Obviously, that won't affect anybody in the SE district. S...

All I'm going to say is that the Trojans will have a much different look than what was projected at the end of this past season. Wasn't feeling particularly optimistic at that time, but now that optimism is back. There is a possibility that PHS could end up a D4 school now that the 7 division system...

Good to see Aaron Duncan get OVC Coach of the Year, which was well deserved. Also congratulations to DeAndre Berry, Trevon Brooks, and JT Williams for making 1st team all-OVC. The OVC POY should be one of those Portsmouth players. PHS won the conference outright, and the POY should follow that accom...

Congratulations to the Minford Falcons on beating a really good Portsmouth Trojans team. Good to see the prayer circle has extended beyond PHS Coach Jeff Lisath's basketball program.

All good points, biggdowgg, and I do think Portsmouth was not treated fairly in the OVC individual awards.

BuckeyeBlood: Thanks for a very good post on the upcoming season. I, too, think the playoffs are a reality and hopefully like you said play at home the 1st week of the postseason. We can win the OVC, but we have to be able to beat Gallia Academy, which has been a nemesis for PHS for a long time. As ...

The Trojans won a district title for the 1st time in almost 25 years with a win over Lynchburg Clay yesterday at Ohio University. PHS advances to play Fairland at OU next week. Portsmouth and Fairland split their head to head OVC games.

Good to see Logan finally getting to join the OCC. Tough competition, but at least the Chieftains will have the security of not having to build a schedule every year. I checked the enrollments and noticed that Logan will be the smallest school in the Buckeye. Still big enough to be competitive though.

Congratulations to Tanner.....he had a great game vs. my Trojans in the basketball district semifinals.

It's going to be very interesting as to how and where the tournaments will be set up. The logistics will be quite different than in the 4 division system.

With the win over South Point yesterday, the Portsmouth Trojans clinched an outright OVC baseball championship with a 12-2 record, the 1st outright title since the school joined the conference in 2015. Congratulations to Coach Aaron Duncan, his staff, and the players for making school history. This ...

Here is a revised list of awards for the Lady Trojans: Sienna Allen made SE district Player of the Year, 1st team all-State, and 1st team all SE district, and 1st team all-OVC Daysha Reid made 3rd team all-State, 1st team all-SE district, and 1st team all-OVC Hayven Carter made 1st team all-OVC, Spe...

Here's some more awards for our Trojans with some corrections: DeAndre Berry: 1st team all-OVC, 1st team all-SE district, 2nd team all-state Donnovan Breech: 1st team all-OVC, 2nd team all-SE district, Honorable Mention all-state Sienna Allen: SE District Player of the Year, 1st team all-state, 1st ...
