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.

CCC men lose home opener

Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — Gafar Moumouni scored two goals in the final five minutes of the first half and Fulton-Montgomery Community College spoiled Clinton's Community College's men's soccer home opener Thursday with a 5-2 win.

Eric Lucas gave the visitors the lead with 33:00 gone in the opening half and Moumouni tallied at 40:00 and then at 43:00 to make it 3-0.

"We beat ourselves — we didn't come out with any intensity," said Clinton C.C. head coach Zac Eppler. "They were beating us to the 50-50 balls and we have to do a better job with our spacing."

The second half, however, was much better for the Cougars.

Kyle Kirk and Ricky Lee scored goals for Clinton C.C. to bring the Cougars to within two goals on two occasions.

But, Joe Mecca and Danilo Cortez answered for Fulton-Montgomery.

"We came out strong in the second half," Eppler said. "We played like we weren't down, 3-0, and it was good to see.

"It's too bad we didn't start out the game like that."

Sam Mignon made seven saves in net for the visitors and Justin LaVarnway nine stops for the Cougars, who were outshot, 14-9.

The Cougars, who are 0-3 on the season, return to the road this weekend for games at Cayuga Community College on Saturday and Herkimer Community College on Sunday.
