One of the most mysterious records of Trojan basketball is one of the most prestigious, that being the list of Trojans who have scored at least 1,000 points in their career at PHS. There have a number of players who have reached that milestone with exact point totals, some who reached it but exact point totals are not known, and then there are some who are on the cusp if not a member of this exclusive club.

In reviewing the OHSAA list of all-time wins for schools, Portsmouth High School is currently 10th in all time wins. I have the year by year records for the Trojans since 1913, but records such as these are not an exact science, since they are normally compiled from several different sources........newspapers, yearbooks, etc.  Because the OHSAA is the major source for records such as these, the total of 1,468 will be used and considered official.

There have been several streaks in Portsmouth's rich basketball history. Listed below are some of the noteworthy streaks:

The official schedule is listed below. The Trojans will play a double round robin schedule in both the SEOAL and OVC. That will comprise 20 games, with only 2 non-conference games left to fill the 22 game slate.
