PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Press-Republican

DRYDEN — Ashley Whitty finished with 21 points, nine rebounds and three assists Sunday to help lead Clinton Community College to an 85-56 win over Tompkins-Cortland Community College in women's basketball.

Jade Pellerin added 18 points, including four 3-pointers, while Megan Riley contributed 16 points and seven rebounds for the Cougars (16-5), who completed a 2-0 weekend on the road.

Katrina Garrand added 13 points and nine assists, Ruth Paul nine points and 12 rebounds, and Meg Barber nine rebounds in the victory.

"Pellerin had a nice game shooting the ball and Whitty stepped it up in the post area for us," Clinton C.C. coach Donna Dixon said. "We got a good mix today and we were able to use our bench.

"It's nice whenever you can win back-to-back weekend games on the road."

The Cougars held a 40-22 lead at the half.

"We got off to a slow start, falling behind 9-0," Dixon said. "They were packed in a zone and we were missing shots.

"We took a timeout, picked up our defensive pressure and got our transition game going. We were able to get into the flow of the game."

Ashley Coriolan led the outmanned Panthers with 17 points. while Nasia Adams added 14 and Keisha McBean 10.

The Cougars are at North Country Community College on Tuesday.

DRYDEN — Offensive rebounding turned out to be the curse of the Cougars in their loss to the Panthers.

Clinton held a six point lead with five minutes remaining, but Tompkins-Cortland roared back with second and third chance shots to take the lead and the victory.

"It was a back-and-forth game and we led for a lot of the first half," Cougars coach Kevin Daugherty said. "We had turnovers in the last couple of minutes and they went up 10 at the half.

"It got up to 14 at the start of the second and I called a time out. We played much better and took the lead with nine minutes left."

Clinton had a strong second half led by Zach Basso, who scored 20 of his 22 points in the half. The Cougars also connected on eight of their 10 3-pointers in the second.

Vince Carter added 16 points for Clinton while Chris Miller chipped in with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Sal Fabozzi dished out 11 assists and grabbed nine rebounds to go with his nine points.

"It was a good game and we played well," Daugherty said. "I thought we gave a real good effort.

"We were there, but just couldn't finish it out."

Jailaan Kinsey led the way for the Panthers with 17 points. Damani Ashton added 16 points while Tyrone Clark finished with 13.

After playing six consecutive road games the Cougars return home for five straight games to wrap up its season. The first game is at 7 p.m. against Jefferson Thursday.
