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.

PLATTSBURGH — Kayla Rabideau hit the conference sprinting five years ago and didn't slow down until she had established herself as one of the most prolific scorers in the history of Section VII soccer.

The Northern Adirondack star closed out a brilliant career in 2009 by earning Most Valuable Player honors in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference girls' soccer. The honor was well deserved for the four-time CVAC all-star and two-time state star.

Rabideau tallied 25 goals and added four assists for 54 points her senior year. She wound up with 102 goals, 26 assists and 230 points for her career.

The 102 goals makes her the seventh girls in Section VII annals to go over 100 for a career and ties her second with Tupper Lake's Noelle Short in the CVAC record books. Seton Catholic great Kelli O'Connell capped her career with 124 goals and 285 points.

Rabideau's 230 points are ninth best in section history and third most in the CVAC books.

The NAC standout, known for her quickness, skills and tireless play, had 15 goals as an eighth-grader, 19 as a freshman, 16 her sophomore season and 27 her junior year.

Beekmantown and Lake Placid were the only CVAC teams to put two girls on the All-Conference Team. Lauren Gonyea, who led the conference in points with 63 on 27 goals, 9 assists, and Megan Rivers (8-6-22) made it from Beekmantown while Chelsea Preston (10-4-24) and Molly Ploof (4-4-12) earn all-CVAC status from Lake Placid.

Sarah Carter closed out her career at Plattsburgh High as the all-time leading scorer with 71 goals, 26 assists for 168 points. The three-time CVAC all-star had 25 goals last season.

Seton Catholic's Rhea Breyette (11-5-27), Saranac's Megan Bowman (12-11-35), Amanda Hamilton (9-3-21) of AuSable Valley, Mary Elizabeth Franke (7-7-21) of Northeastern Clinton, and Peru's Erin Sullivan (1-2-4) completed the all-conference team.
