I wish I knew what Portsmouth team will show up Tuesday.......but I haven't a clue. These past 2 games vs. Ironton and Warren pretty much showed the good and bad about the Trojans this year. For everything they did right vs. Ironton, they did the same things poorly vs. Warren.
Talent wise, Portsmouth has the talent to make it to the regionals. Performance wise, everything has been a struggle to be consistent......whether it be team play, defense, rebounding, shooting, ballhandling, intensity, etc..........These Trojans have been one of the most hard to figure teams I've seen in the 37 years I have been watching the Red and Blue......yet at the same time these Trojans are one of the most intriguing PHS teams to watch.
We Trojan fans don't really know what we're going to get Tuesday night.....and that makes for extra anticipation as to what we'll see. If our good side shows up, I think we can win this game, no question. But if our bad side rears its ugly head, we're one and done.
I don't think I could look at it any other way and keep my sanity.....if I have any left.........
GO TROJANS!!! PLEASE SHOW YOUR GOOD SIDE TUESDAY!!!

Good luck to the Trojans and the Pioneers as they head toward this titantic 7 vs 10 showdown this week. I for one think both teams are seeded to low, but that is my humble opinion sitting out in leftfield.
Based on both teams struggles on the road at times, this game could be very interesting. I still like the Trojans because they can beat you from many areas, but they need to take care of the ball and play solid D.
