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.

Huskies pull off double

CANTON — Franklin Academy's championship showing in the Section X Indoor Track & Field Championships was doubly sweet.

The Malone girls overcame a strong effort by South Jefferson, the regular season co-champion, to win by 26½ points while the boys prevailed by 27 points at St. Lawrence University Friday night.

The girls won only two events — the 55-meter hurdles and 800-meter relay), but claimed second places in 12 of the 14 events.

"Almost every team member had a personal best in at least one event," Girls' Coach Bob Devins said. "I was very proud of the improvement and work ethic this team displayed this season. Our senior leadership was the key to our success. It has been a pleasure to coach this team."

The Huskies had been inconsistent in the field events, but Ellen Studlack (4 feet, 8 inches) took third in the high jump with teammate Corinne Williams (4-foot-6) finishing sixth — both with personal-bests.

In the 1,500 meters, Malone scored 11 points with Kaylie Lamica, Paige Studlack and Jennifer Kemp all running outstandin races and in the 600 meters, Danielle Dumas and Christine ran personal-bests to place second and third.

The 300-meter dash also was a big event for Malone with Jessica Farmer, Kylee Disotelle and Kaitlin Sexton all producing personal-bests to score 13 points, which put the Huskies in front to stay.

Disotelle also won the 55-meter hurdles in 9.6 seconds while the foursome of Disotelle, Farmer, Hanna and Sexton took the 800 relay in 1:55.6.

The Malone boys were led by Justin Marlow, who won the 55-meter hurdles in a school-record time of 8.2 seconds. Marlow returned to win the 1,000 meters with a personal-best 2:45.2, and finished the night by running in the 800 relay, where the Huskies set a new school record. The team of Derek Hanna, Zach Leffler, Nick Hyde and Marlow won in 1:37.6.

Ed Watkins won the shot put with a throw of 46 feet, 6 inches — more than two feet beyond his previous best.
