Greenup County crosses the Ohio River to face off against the Portsmouth Trojans in the Ohio River Shootout. 

Greenup is coming off its first loss of the season in a 15-28 game to a stout Russell Red Devil team. Portsmouth is coming off a big rivalry win against cross-town foe Portsmouth West 13-12. Both teams are 1-1 entering the contest. 

Since the series was renewed in 2023, Greenup has won both meetings: 28-22 (OT) in 2023 and 37-26 last year.

Rooting for Greenup. I hope they can get another win against Ohio. 
 

Greenup 28

Portsmouth 14

Greenup grew up a lot this past Friday in an opponent that I thought could really put them away. After going into half down 21-0, the Musketeers really fought hard to get back into the game. After Russell fumbled the first snap of the second half and turned it over, GC answered with a TD, a defensive stop, and drove down into the redzone before turning it over themselves. Had GC scored, it would have been a 21-14 game late in the third and who knows. However, Russell capitalized off the turnover and went up 28-7. GC responded but ran out of time. 

I think Greenup's young team learned a lot and their OL played very physical. QB Jasper Davis didn't play well compared to Week 1, but I look for him to bounce back well. GC's defense is much improved in the box and are much more physical than last year. 

35-14 in favor of the Muskies this week. 

Bump.

This game starts at 6:30 pm now.
