(Girls)Portsmouth runs Fairland out of the gym 63-40

 


Portsmouth faced Fairland twice during the regular season winning 67-49 in the first match up and then they won the second match up 47-35. The third match up really was over just a few minutes into the game. The Trojans jumped out to a 19-8 game and never let up. The second quarter was a domination by the winners as they outscored the Dragons 21-7. In the half the two big-guns for the Trojans Sienna Allen and Soft-shooting Daysha Reid showed the large crowd that was loud and very much into the game that they were the top Dawgs on the floor. Both finished with 20 points on the night. Reid hit three early threes and Allen added two.

Portsmouth outscored the Dragons 17-12 in the third. The Dragons who were beat and I believe they knew it would have spurts that showed the crowd why they were here and had such a great season. Maxpreps has them finishing the season 21-6. Most believe they will be back next season as strong as ever. The final frame would see some the Trojans winning 16-13 to post the 63-40 win. Leading the Dragons in scoring was Addyson Cornell. The 6-0 Junior had 10 points making four field goals and two free throws. Freshman Ava Layne and 5-7 Junior Baily Russell each ended their night with 8 points.

The Trojans who according to Maxpreps improve to 26-1 and will face  Creston Norwayne (25-3), who beat two-time defending champions Columbus Africentric Early College (21-8). Africentric not only had won back-to-back titles they have won nine overall. 

Keke Woods had 10 for the Trojans and Hayven Carter totaled 8.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

  Logan Doughty Miller High School Quarterback, free safety 2025 6,2 170 lbs What are some of the awards you have won or earned? Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season? I’d say a high point would be doubling our wins from the 2022 season. Some low points would be losing three close games that would’ve given us a higher seed in tournament play and not being able to win a playoff game. What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
