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.

Blue Devils still Storm

OGDENSBURG -- The Ogdensburg Blue Devils scored twice on big plays and went on to defeat the Saranac Lake Redskins 22-0 in battle of unbeatens in Northern Football Conference play.

The victory enabled Ogdensburg (6-0, 3-0) to clinch the Class C regular-season championship and the top seed for the playoffs. Saranac Lake drops to 5-1, 2-1 in the division.

Senior halfback Tylor Stevenson had a pair of second-quarter touchdowns for the Blue Devils, crashing into the end zone from six yards out and then zigzagging from sideline to sideline behind three textbook open-field blocks to score on a 75-yard punt return.

Zach Giglio, who converted both point-after kicks, then accounted for the only touchdown of the second half by catching a 65-yard scoring strike from Jarred Morrow early in the third quarter. Morrow then found Jorden Brashaw in the front of the end zone for the two-point conversion.

Brandon Patraw rushed for 66 yards to lead Saranac Lake. He was 4 of 9 passing for 41 yards.

Saranac Lake will host arch-rival Tupper Lake next Saturday.
