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.

Garrand leads Cougars

Press-Republican

SARANAC LAKE — Katrina Garrand tallied 18 points, dished out eight assists and had four steals to lead Clinton Community College over North Country Community College in women's college basketball Tuesday.

The Cougars (17-5) started out strong and held a 39-26 lead at the end of the first half.

"We came out strong," Clinton coach Donna Dixon said. "We were able to get to the rim in transition.

"North Country started making shots at the end of the half. They always seem to make a run. It was as close as eight in the second, but we made another dun and we were able to put it away."

Jade Pellerin led the Cougars in scoring with 19 points. Ruth Paul added 13 points and 14 rebounds while Ashley Whitty finished with 10 points.

Clinton as a team had 20 assists in the game.

"We were really able to get out in transition," Dixon said. "This was a great overall team effort on both offense and defense."

Ayanda Ntombela led all scorers with 23 points to pace the Saints. Justin Smith chipped in with nine points and nine rebounds while LaCandice Sanders tallied eight points and Steph Demarais had six rebounds.

"Ayanda really played well and got a lot of penetration," Saints coach Jerrad Dumont said. "We didn't hit a lot of outside shots which really hurt us."

The Cougars take on Jefferson at 5 p.m. Thursday at home.

North Country will host Schenectady at 1 p.m. Saturday.
