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.

CROWN POINT — Westport's 1-2 combination of Bo McKinley and Nathan Gay was too much for Willsboro Friday night.

McKinley poured in 38 points and Gay followed with 23 points, 15 rebounds and five assists to power the Eagles to a 72-62 victory in the overall Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference boys' basketball championship game.

Westport (15-2 overall) held a 37-32 lead at the half and then went on a 25-9 run in the third quarter, with McKinley scoring 12 points and Gay, eight.

"Our intensity picked up in the third quarter and we tightened it up defensively," said Westport coach Brad Rascoe. "We also did a better job playing team ball."

The Eagles took a 62-41 lead into the fourth before the Warriors closed the final margin to 10.

"We had a lapse in the fourth," Rascoe said.

Alex Hamel led Willsboro with 22 points and Lucas Strong followed with 15.

"Both Hamel and Strong played well for them," Rascoe said.

It marked the third win for Westport over Willsboro this season.
