Discussion

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.

BEEKMANTOWN — When defending Champlain Valley Athletic Conference wrestling champion Beekmantown lost to Northern Adirondack early this season, it looked like the Eagles would be hard pressed to defend their crown.

Beekmantown, however, pulled together and won its next seven league matches, including a 38-34 decision over Peru Wednesday night to wrap up the championship.

"It was a packed house and a great match to watch," said Beekmantown head coach Lenny Gadway. "I knew it was going to be tight, and our kids wrestled up to their potential.

"The kids improved tremendously from the beginning of the season. They responded to the challenge and did a nice job."

Both the Eagles and Indians took 6-1 records into Wednesday's showdown, with Beekmantown having defeated Peru earlier in the season.

Brandon Jabaut's win by fall at 215 pounds clinched it for the Eagles, who took a 38-28 lead at the time.

Also winning by pin for Beekmantown was Nick Bushey (171), while Jesse Daniels (119), Kyle Burdick (125), Ethan Kerr (130), Koby Barcomb (135), Kyle LaPorte (140) and Nick Lucia (160) all won by decision. Andy Anderson (145) won by forfeit.

"There were quite a few good matches," Gadway said. "We won a big match at 119 and both 135 and 160 were also nice wins for us."

Daniels recorded a 4-1 win over Peru's Patrick Hogan at 119 in a battle of standouts.

"That match was a reversal from the first time we wrestled them when we lost, 4-2," Gadway said.

At 135, Barcomb posted an 11-6 win over Kyle Rock. And, at 160, Lucia was an 11-8 winner over Kyle Lovejoy.

Arik Robinson (103), Josh D'Aust (189) and Cameron Mello (285) led the way for the Indians with pins.

Adam Stickle (152) won by decision, while Jake Goddeau (96) and Troy Seymour (112) picked up forfeit victories.
