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.

CVAC Saranac 43, NCCS 26

CHAMPLAIN — The Cougars opened Senior Night with a 7-4 lead in the first quarter.

But the Chiefs showed why they are ranked 14th in the state and still unbeaten.

Saranac (15-0, 12-0) outscored the Cougars 19-7 in the second quarter to take control.

Stephanie Linder led all scorers with 22 points, and Alisha Ducatte added 11 for the Chiefs. Morgan Maye had six points on two triples.

"Coach (Tim) Newell is doing a heck of a job," Northeastern Clinton coach Frank Dumas said. "His defense is tenacious. We had the lead after the quarter, but the second quarter is what broke the game open."

Seniors Paige Southwick and Justine Rabideau, along with Skyler Hebert, each scored six points for the Cougars (8-6, 8-4).
