Collins makes history in Trojans’ triumph<\/p>\n

By Paul Boggs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PORTSMOUTH \u2014 Eugene Collins doesn\u2019t seem to get too high or too low during basketball games, and definitely shouts and screams even less.<\/p>\n

Instead, what Collins does do besides calms the proverbial waters is win at the same time.<\/p>\n

And, at his alma mater of Portsmouth High School on Tuesday night \u2014 inside PHS\u2019 Trojan Arena \u2014Collins captured his 169th career coaching victory, making him the second winningest coach in the decorated and proud history of tradition-rich Trojan boys basketball.<\/p>\n

His Trojans, trailing for just two minutes in the second quarter and shooting a sizzling 56-percent for the entire game with 10 made three-pointers, triumphed 72-61 over the visiting Coal Grove Hornets in an Ohio Valley Conference contest.<\/p>\n

With the victory, the Trojans bounced back nicely from a heartbreaking 62-61 OVC loss at Ironton on Friday night \u2014 and improved to 6-7 and 3-4 in the league.<\/p>\n

But Tuesday\u2019s tilt was all about the 11-year head coach Collins, who entered against the Hornets tied with Richard \u201cRed\u201d Hopkins with 168 career wins \u2014tied for the second-most all-time on the career coaching wins list at Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

Collins now sports a record of 169-87 at PHS, as Hopkins \u2014who coached the Trojans for 11 years from 1926 thru 1936 \u2014had a record of 168-58.<\/p>\n

Collins \u2014 widely respected amongst coaching peers, players and fans alike \u2014 especially those in Southeastern Ohio, commented on his Trojan tenure and what the honor means.<\/p>\n

Current Team<\/dt>
Portsmouth<\/a><\/dd><\/dl><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div> \u201cThis is special. To not only play here, but then become the head coach here. We\u2019re in the top-10 in all-time wins in the state. I have to give a ton of credit to all my players, former staff, current coaches, the administration\u2026everybody has been really good to me. I\u2019ve just been blessed and fortunate to ride this wave,\u201d he said. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t felt like 11 years, but time has been flying by.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, it doesn\u2019t feel like a second decade of coaching has started for Collins, but the resume from his first 10 years is quite impressive.<\/p>\n

His Trojans have appeared in three regional championship games, which include back-to-back Division III state tournament berths in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

At the league level, Portsmouth won two Southeastern Ohio Athletic League titles in 2012 and 2014, followed by an OVC championship in 2015.<\/p>\n

He has been the SEOAL and OVC Coach of the Year, the Southeast District Division III Coach of the Year as bestowed upon by the Associated Press, and the Division III Ohio Coach of the Year in 2012.<\/p>\n

Speaking of 2012, he is the last Southeast District boys coach to have won a state semifinal, as his Trojans topped Ottawa-Glandorf 74-66.<\/p>\n

Collins is one of four Trojan coaches to lead Portsmouth to the state tournament more than once, as the previous three were Red Hopkins (1926, 1927, 1929, 1931 and 1934), Richard \u201cDick\u201d Hopkins (1978 and 1980) and Joe Suboticki (1988 and 1990).<\/p>\n

The all-time winningest coach in Portsmouth history remains George Heller, who went 224-137 from 1952 to 1968.<\/p>\n

If Collins coaches long enough, and if the Trojans win of course, it is likely he will pass Heller \u2014as only 55 victories separate the two as of this morning.<\/p>\n

But Collins\u2019 chief concern on Tuesday night was getting his 2020 Trojans back on the winning track, as Portsmouth pushed out to a 16-8 early advantage \u2014before the Hornets hit back behind Evan Gannon\u2019s three first-half three-pointers and went on a 15-3 run over a span of six minutes.<\/p>\n

Coal Grove claimed its lead at 20-19 on a Peyton Smith drive at the 4:45 mark of the second quarter, as Gannon garnered his final trifecta for a four-point bulge (23-19) just 25 seconds later.<\/p>\n

But the Trojans\u2019 Amare Johnson drained two treys just 45 seconds apart for the 25-25 tie, sandwiched around Smith scoring on a rebound putback.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Matthew Fraulini caught fire for Portsmouth, as his second-stanza three-ball boosted the Trojans back in front for good at 28-25.<\/p>\n

After two first-quarter deuces, he dropped in another in the second to make it a five-point (30-25) lead, as Drew Roe then scored with 90 seconds left in the period for another advantage (32-25) of at least six.<\/p>\n

Portsmouth shot the ball well \u201456-percent for the game on 28-of-50.<\/p>\n

It canned 10-of-21 three-balls for 48-percent, and attacked the basket well for high-percentage shots \u2014going 18-of-29 for a fiery 62-percent from inside the arc, including 11-of-15 (73-percent) in the opening half.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to see things that you work on in practice carry over into the game. We\u2019ve been working on pitching it up and getting shots on the wing. Matt (Fraulini) hit some threes. We\u2019ve been working on swinging it to the trailer and getting some trail threes with Donavon Carr,\u201d said Collins. \u201cIt was good to see the last couple of days of practice pay off like that. We\u2019ve been working a lot lately on shooting, and guys stepped up and made shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

Did they ever \u2014 especially in the second half after those three makes on a dozen attempts in the first.<\/p>\n

Three Hornet hoops got the guests to within 34-33, but the Trojans \u2014with three threes by Fraulini and one from Roe \u2014doubled up the Hornets 20-10 over the final 5:13 of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

In the fourth frame, Carr dialed in twice from long distance, as Johnson \u2014with Portsmouth leading 60-51 and with 4:15 remaining \u2014drilled his third three to make it a double-digit lead the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

The Trojans then finished off Coal Grove with 4-of-6 free throws in the final 1:23, as Johnson split a pair for his 14th and final point \u2014while Fraulini went 3-of-4 to cap his team-high pouring in of 23.<\/p>\n

Fraulini\u2019s 23 included four deuces and four treys, as Johnson (14 points), Roe (13 points) and Carr (12) closely followed suit.<\/p>\n

All three totaled five field goals apiece, as Miles Shipp scored three baskets with one apiece from Dariyonne Bryant (first quarter) and Chris Duff (third quarter).<\/p>\n

The Trojans, aside from the five twos and five threes from Gannon towards a game-high 25 points, defended well on the perimeter \u2014as Coal Grove shot just 5-of-22 from three-point range.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur gameplan was to make sure we didn\u2019t give their shooters good looks,\u201d said Collins. \u201cFor the most part, we did pretty good except for Gannon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trevor Carey \u2014on six field goals and two made free throws \u2014 chipped in 14 points, while Smith and Jarren Hicks added eight points apiece on three field goals and two made foul shots.<\/p>\n

The Hornets, which had won five consecutive over the Trojans, fell to 3-9 \u2014and to 2-5 in the OVC.<\/p>\n

The triumph by the Trojans was important for the young club\u2019s confidence, and to inch closer to the .500 mark while climbing the ladder of the OVC standings.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a two-horse race right now with league-leader Fairland and second-place Chesapeake, but Portsmouth desires to make it a three-way or even four-way dance, as South Point and Ironton are in the middle mix as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great win for our kids. I am so proud of them,\u201d said Collins. \u201cTo get a win and get to 3-4 in the league, we kind of went from the bottom of the league to the middle of the league. It was a great opportunity for us. I think tonight we finished the game, whereas at Ironton we just didn\u2019t close it out. We took strides tonight at getting better at finishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, Collins took a personal stride into Portsmouth boys basketball history, although his focus following Tuesday night\u2019s win was indeed on the here and now.<\/p>\n

Plus\u2026next month\u2019s tournament trek.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re having fun and we\u2019re getting better every game. We\u2019re looking to be humming on all cylinders come February,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
