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.

B'town wins Garrow shootout

Press-Republican

CHAZY — The Beekmantown boys' soccer team held strong defensively Saturday night against Plattsburgh High School.

And, the Eagles finally prevailed, 3-1, in a shootout after the two teams battled scoreless through two halves and two sudden-death overtimes in the championship game of the Frankie Garrow Memorial Tournament.

The game officially goes into the book as a tie.

"It was a thrilling game," said Beekmantown head coach Tony Perez. "I know it goes into the books as a tie, but it feels like a win.

"Our defense held strong because Plattsburgh kept coming at us. Give credit to PHS — they have a great team. But, our players showed a lot of heart and I was proud of them."

Keon Jahanbakhsh, Zack Towle and Mark Price scored in the shootout for the Eagles (1-0-1), while Ethan Votraw was the only player to score for the Hornets (1-0-1).

The Hornets held a 20-4 advantage in shots, with Brett Smith making nine saves for Beekmantown and Chris Roenbeck three for PHS.

"Brett Smith played one of the best games of his career," Perez said. "They were controlling the midfield and were on the attack.

"Jahanbakhsh had a strong game at midfield for us and we had Towle playing all over. Ben Smith, Josh Perkins and Spencer Keable played well on defense.

"For them, Votraw was strong at midfield as always and Jordan Knight up front."

Chazy 3, Canton 0

Jordan Barriere scored two second-half goals and assisted on a third as the host Eagles won the third-place contest.

Barriere assisted on Nathan Reynolds' goal, which opened the scoring 12 minutes into the second stanza. Barriere then scored goals at the 16:00 and 21:00 marks.

Austin Santor was in net for the shutout with four saves and Jake Newman made 14 stops for the Bears. Chazy (1-1) held a one-sided 26-4 advantage in shots.

"We played better in the second half and possessed the ball better," said Chazy coach Rob McAuliffe. "It was a good step forward for us."
