Tobias: The overall series stands at 40-34 in favor of Portsmouth....but the Cavaliers have won the last 7. Don't know the Trojans' record at CHS, though.
This 75th meeting will push Chillicothe into second place all time on Portsmouth's opponents list....the Trojans have only played Ironton more times....in fact, so many, I'm not sure of the exact number....I think it's around 125 times.
Portsmouth has played Ashland(KY) 74 times, and lead that series 46-28. Not bad against Kentucky's all time winningest program.

I think one BIG edge to the Cavaliers is EXPERIENCE. Chillicothe is playing with 4 starters returning, while Portsmouth only has Nate Cadogen returning from the starting 5 last season. I know Caleb Knights was on varsity as a freshmen, and I thought Stuart Beverly saw action as a sophomore. I'm not sure about Seth Dawes as a freshman...I was thinking he got to see a little varsity action, but I could be wrong.

trojandave, As usual you are correct. Our experience probably gives us an advantage here (aside from playing at home). Both Knights and Dawes started every game as Freshman and Soph's until Dawes got hurt late last year. Our experience at the guards, Knights, Hitchens, and Beverly is really helping us defensively. They all play the perimeter well and know where each other are at all the time. Dawes, Chambers and the others coming off the bench are rotating well and pounding the boards.
Overall, I see this Portsmouth team being very similiar to Chilly two years ago (or maybe early last year). Young, but good athletic b-ball players. I think Bendolph will be a star when it is all said and done.
If Cavs don't have a victory hangover (following North College Hill), I think the Cavs will give the young Trojans a good lesson on how to play against top notch competition. If we have a hangover, these young Trojans may smack us in the mouth.
GO CAVS!!!

Trojan Dave,
I think the Trojans will be in the hunt next year for the SEOAL Championship. They will have the team to make it happen. I also think they can do well this season in D3 play down the stretch in the Sectionals.

Bronc 21,
I wouldn't worry about that guy, our CAVS have proven they can play ball. Who knows where that guy is from.
keeping it real.....real dumb
what Div. is brookhaven? coulda sworn they were D1 as well. plus who cares what division you're playing if you're schedule is stacked with defending state champions with the nuclei of those teams returning or other regional qualifying teams?

Chillicothe plays a very demanding non-conference schedule. They cannot control the strength of the SEOAL, and they have to play everybody, which accounts for 14 games.
Sometimes I think people get too caught up in divisions.....one year that North College Hill won the D3 state title with Mayo and Walker, they beat Canton McKinley in the regular season, and McKinley won the D1 state title the same year.
The Cavaliers schedule will prepare them for the bigger prize that they have their eyes on....a berth in the Final 4, and a state championship.
Portsmouth used the same formula for decades....and it has worked very well. Here is the 1988 schedule for the D2 State Champions, 27-1 record:
89 Miami Trace 56
67 Chillicothe 50
70 Zanesville 55
87 Ashland(KY) 49
73 Russell(KY) 95 only loss
62 Ironton 55
100 Columbus Mifflin 55
100 Dayton Colonel White 82
66 Waverly 47
57 Boyd Co.(KY) 52
72 Greenup Co.(KY) 36
79 West Union 54
88 Ashland(KY) 69
88 Columbus Linden McKinley 66
82 Russell(KY) 73
60 Gallipolis 40
61 Ironton 57
73 Cincinnati Moeller 62
79 Boyd Co.(KY) 59
64 Greenup Co.(KY) 62
Portsmouth was a member of the OKAC, which was Greenup Co., Boyd Co., Russell, Ashland, and Ironton. It was a decent football league, but a very good basketball league, better than the SEOAL is now.
Also noteworthy is that Linden McKinley advanced to the D1 state championship game that year and got destroyed by Cincinnati Woodward 107-70. I watched all the state championship games that year and felt Woodward was the BEST team in the state....probably 10-15 points better than Portsmouth.

Like I said Chillicothe can not win against a powerful D1 school.Brookhaven,Newark and Zanesville are D-1 schools,and of course what happen with Brookhaven,Bronc21 they lost hahahaha!! And you only have Zanesville once on the schedule.Why do you think your school district left the almighty OCC because your mighty Cavaliers couldn't win in the OCC.What happen last year,when you guy's came back to Columbus area and played Upper Arlington YOU LOST!!!! should I even bring up the Schott against Toledo Libby!!!Well let's see how you guy's come out against Newark,Zanesville and Dayton Dunbar.Until then Good Luck with the Almighty SEOAL.Remember,this is a opinionated web-site.So Bronc21 and Dshanton3 did you guy's even play the game of Basketball for Chillicothe???.

The non-conference games should prepare Chillicothe for the long hual.That was a nice quality game Chillicothe won against NCH.I know this is our second season in the SEOAL and I do feel that the League in whole far as Basketball goes it's a pretty weak league.Hell there's was times, I went to sleep at the games last year,because of sub=par performance of some of the league members.We have Zanesville 1 time on our schedule along with Dayton Dunbar and Zanesville.There's 3 very good teams that's coming up on the Cavs schedule.But 1 thing to remember anything can happened on any given night in a game of Basketball.The big question is when does the ice fall upon the Cavs????
Why do so many posters come on here at get their feathers all ruffle up over a post????

Real,
Not sure what you point is? Chilli really doesn't need to compete with the powerful D-1. They are D-2 and made it to the final eight last year! If I'm Chilli's fans, I don't think there is any need to respond to such a comment, just let the BB team play the way they are capable and I don't think anyone will question "how good they are". BTW, this comes from a Z-ville fan living in Ross County. I don't believe any Columbus would have wanted to come to Athens for the Regional this year "if" Both Zanes and Chillicothe were D-2. And we Zanes fans know that 2 games this year with Chillicothe will be as tough as they come!

Post game meal: Casa del Taco......always a great stop. If my friend from Columbus comes to the game, and he is supposed to, we have already planned to stop here, no matter what happens in the game.
Just a final comment on the game..........regardless of how the game turns out, I think CHS fans and posters of SEOPS will perhaps be surprised at how different the Trojans look this year. This team is better than any of the previous 5 years, and I think that the second half of the 2007-2008 season should be a lot of fun for Trojan fans.
I just hope our kids can play the way their capable of tonight.....consistency has been elusive for us so far, and it will take consistently GOOD play to stay with the Cavaliers tonight.
GO TROJANS!!!

Those Ky-oh games back then were something else ---When portsmouth and GC hooked up back in the 80's it was usually a pretty hyped game. The p-town fans loooved Coach Ward
I think they should definetly schedule each other ---see if you can get that done trojandave ! MD
Chris Jones who walked on at UK was the star of the Russell team , he could leap with anyone , Scott Humphries was the point guard, and is now a very sucessful coach in northern KY at some HS.
Don't remember the 2 point game to close out the year with GC , bet it was a dandy.
