In fact, it is the 3rd straight season posting a 15-7 regular season mark. Overall for the decade(all with Coach Eugene Collins), Portsmouth has recorded an outstanding 154-63 record. This year's 15 wins was the 45th time that a Trojan basketball team has won at least 15 games in a season. It also was PHS's 80th winning season since 1913. The all time record of Portsmouth boys basketball now stands at 1,449--767, a SE district best for wins and ranks 8th on Ohio's all time list.

Now heading into tournament play, Portsmouth will by playing for its 65th sectional title. The previous 64 is by far a SE district best. Winning the sectional at Waverly will not be easy. The Trojans always seem to get a stiff test from someone, last year by North Adams in the championship game. PHS is very capable of making a good tournament run, but they will have to be at their best to cut down any nets.

Coach Collins has had a very stable staff to assist him. Jim Arnzen, Greg Smith, Matt Payton, Tyson Phillips, Jeremy Greene, Aaron Smith,and Tom Bailey have been with the program now for quite some time and it has paid dividends.

Proud of our Trojans, and as always, GO TROJANS!!

I hope everything is going good for you healthwise.....I just had a biopsy on a growth on my back and it came back benign. 3 years in a row I have had a removal of a suspicious area on my back, and each time it has come back benign. I visit the VA dermatology clinic in Columbus once a year and they do a great job. I am thankful to the Good Lord that I've gotten good results each time.

There are some really good potential matchups awaiting us in Athens. Some favorites will win, and some will lose. Some underdogs will play the game of their life. It's part of what makes tournament basketball the best postseason of any sport.

I’ve made it to about a dozen unioto and chillicothe games this year and I told my wife no matter how I feel, I WILL be at the convo this year. There’s nothing like watching a high school basketball game at the convo. Good luck to all the teams!

... you're right on the money trojandave with tourney hoops ... so unpredictable - records can be thrown out the window ... it's ALL about "one game" NOW ... "one and done" season IS it ... "survive and advance" IS it ... no one gets "style points" in the post season - it's ALL about the "W" ... it's why the hoops post season IS the best time of the year ! so unpredictable and EVERYONE has a chance to participate , make their mark in the post season - gotta love it !
