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.

Peru falls in Damiani's coaching debut

Press-Republican

GOUVEUNEUR — Gouverneur Central catured its first ever victory over the Peru Indians Saturday at the St. Lawrence County and Gouverneur Fair Fairgrounds.

The Wildcats, despite getting called for a plethora of penalties, blanked Peru, 9-0, spoiling the coaching debut of Nick Damiani.

Peru had its best field position after recovering a fumble inside the 5-yard line on the Wildcats' first possession of the second half. Peru was then called for a penalty, nearly lost a fumble and missed a field goal attempt.

Later in the third quarter, Governeur's Jared Knowlton covered up a bad snap at the Peru 33-yard line. Zach Cummings used a 16-yard run to get inside the 10, but the Wildcats turned the ball over a down later near the goalline.

The Wildcats defense sacked Peru quarterback Ryan Kenny in the endzone for a 2-0 lead on a safety with 1:07 left in the third.

On their next drive, the Wildcats had a 30-yard run called back on a penalty and later lost nine yards because of poor blocking to force a punt.

With each team punting on their next series, Peru turned the ball over on downs at the 34-yard line, and Governeur's Levi Love made the most of a broken counter play later on the drive and scampered 15 yards to put his team up, 8-0. After Lucas Bulsiewicz's extra point kick, the Wildcats elected to use an onside kick, and Cummings recovered the ball.

Cummings had seven tackles and carried the ball 21 times for 81 yards. Love gained 30 yards on four attempts.
