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.

Clinton drops contest to Hudson Valley

Press-Republican

TROY — Kalik Parker led five players in double figures Wednesday night to lead Hudson Valley Community College to a 76-64 victory over Clinton Community College in men's basketball.

Jacob Palmer added 15 points, Conor Maisch 14, Anthony Metzold 12 and Jeffrey Kruzinski 10 for the hosts.

Vince Carter tossed in 20 points for the Cougars, while Zach Basso added 19 points, Chris Miller 18 points and eight rebounds, and Sal Fabozzi six assists.

Hudson Valley held a 39-29 lead at the half.

"We played very well," Clinton C.C. head coach Kevin Daugherty said. "It was a 24-all game at one time in the first half. We did a good job on Parker and Maisch, their two big shooters, in the first half, but Palmer and Kruzinski hurt us with two 3-pointers each.

"They shot a very high percentage in the first half."

The hosts then opened it up in the second half before Clinton C.C. was able to battle its way back into the game.

"Turnovers hurt us early in the second half and we got down by 21 points," Daugherty said. "But, with six minutes to go, we had it down to eight.

"Our half-court defense was good and our guys showed a lot of heart in battling back. Hudson Valley is ranked fifth in the region and we made them work for it tonight."

The Cougars are at Fulton-Montgomery Community College on Saturday.
