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

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

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.

PLATTSBURGH — Katrina Garrand led three players in double figures with 20 points Thursday as the Clinton Community College women's basketball team recorded a 65-59 win over Hudson Valley Community College.

Garrand also added four assists, four steals and two blocked shots as the Cougars improved to 13-4 overall.

Emily Decker added 15 points and 12 rebounds for Clinton. Ruth Paul had 10 points and 12 rebounds, and Ashley Whitty chipped in seven boards.

Arianna Youngs paced the Vikings with 20 points, while Erica Houle added 19 and Tiana Lott 11.

The Cougars were up by as many as 15 points in the first half before Hudson Valley cut it to 30-25 at intermission.

"We knew going in that Houle and Youngs were their top shooters," Clinton assistant coach Allison Vosh said. "We held Houle in check in the first half, and Youngs carried them. Houle then stepped up in the second half.

"We did a great job locating their shooters, especially in the first half. We were also able to get out in transition."

The Cougars did a good job outrebounding the Vikings, who fell to 12-8 on the season.

"Decker, Whitty and Paul were outstanding in the post," Vosh said. "And Garrand and (Chelsey) Brooks controlled the floor game."

Vosh filled in for head coach Donna Dixon, who missed the game because of a family matter.

The Cougars hit the road for two games this weekend — Saturday at Fulton-Montgomery Community College and Sunday at SUNY Delhi.
