SOUTH POINT — The Portsmouth Lady Trojans did something on Thursday that the program hasn’t done in 40 years.

Win a conference championship.

The Lady Trojans beat the South Point Pointers 61-25 to clinch at least a share of the Ohio Valley Conference title. Portsmouth hasn’t won a league title since winning the now defunct Ohio-Kentucky Athletic Conference in 1984.

Portsmouth (17-2, 13-0) has a league-ending showdown at Fairland on Monday. The Lady Trojans can claim the league outright with a win but will share it with Fairland if they lose.

Portsmouth settled the outcome in the first quarter by taking a 28-4 lead.

Sienna Allen hit a 3-pointer and scored 8 points, Daysha Reid scored 7 points, Hayven Carter had 6 points and Keke Woods was 5-of-6 from the foul line.

The lead went to 43-11 at the half as 5 different players scored, led by Allen with 5 and Woods with 4.

Saratina Jackson had 7 points including a 3-pointer to account for all of South Point’s total in the quarter.

Portsmouth outscored South Point 12-9 in the third quarter as Woods, Carter, Bry Shannon and Savannah Cantrell all hit 3-pointers.

Allen had 16 points to lead 4 players in double figures. Reid and Woods scored 12 each and Carter had 11.

Jackson had 12 points for South Point (10-8, 7-6)
