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.

Westport girls win close one



CROWN POINT — The Westport girls survived their toughest test of the season thus far Friday night with a 31-27 victory over Indian Lake/Long Lake in the overall Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference championship game.

"Indian Lake/Long Lake played well," said Westport coach Hokie McKinley. "They didn't shoot all that well, but played great defense."

Kalika Hopkins led the unbeaten Eagles (17-0) with 11 points, while Martha McKinley and Christina Sherman added nine apiece. McKinley led Westport with 13 rebounds.

The Eagles' cause was hurt by the absence of Willa McKinley, who suffered an ankle injury in practice on Thursday.

"She should be okay for the sectionals," Hokie McKinley said.

Carli Reynolds led Indian Lake/Long Lake with 14 points and no other Orange player had more than four points.

Indian Lake/Long Lake held a 7-2 lead after one before Westport went on a 10-2 run in the second stanza for a 14-9 halftime lead.

"We had a good second quarter, but they outscored us in two other quarters," McKinley said. "We never lost the lead in the second half. We would stretch it out a little and they would fight back."

Martha McKinley hit two free throws with 11 seconds left to seal it for the Eagles.
