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.

CHATEAUGAY — With Chateaugay in the driver's seat in the Northern Athletic Conference boys' basketball standings, it needed a win over Madrid-Waddington Friday night to clinch first place in the East Division and a perfect 12-0 league record.

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, who scored as many as 88 points in a game this season, three points too few was all it took to finish tied for first.

The Yellow Jackets squeaked by with a 46-44 victory to tie the Bulldogs with an 11-1 league record in the final game of the regular season.

"The game was very evenly matched," Chateaugay coach Ron Boyea said. "Two very good teams battled tonight, and they were the better team."

Both teams entered the second half tied at 22, and Madrid-Waddington took a three-point lead in the third quarter.

Alex Brock was the only Yellow Jacket to score in double figures. He finished with 15 points.

Michael Boyea tallied 20 points, seven rebounds and five assits for the bulldogs. Teammate Erik Fleury added 12 points and six rebounds.
