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.

TICONDEROGA — The Ticonderoga Sentinels closed out the Champlain Valley Athletic Conference gymnastics season on a high note Tuesday with a stunning 144.15 to 142.9 upset of the champion Beekmantown Eagles.

It was the first win of the season for the Sentinels and gives them a boost heading into Saturday's Section VII championships at Plattsburgh High School.

Beekmantown (7-2) was without flu-stricken Mikaela Frechette, but still received a big effort from Alyssa Leonard, who won all four events on her way to a 32.85 all-around score. Teammate Emily Vasquez was second with a 29.5.

Eighth-grader Devin Davis and seniors Jamie Patchett and Chelsea Budwick, in their final home meet, came up big for Ticonderoga. Davis took second in three events while Patchett had a 29.34 all-around and Budwick, a 28.9.

Peru 151.05, PHS 146.45
PLATTSBURGH — Emy Russell swept all four disciplines for host Plattsburgh High, but Peru came out on top with Shanice Washington leading the way.

Russell finished with a 33.75 all-around score after winning each event by two-tenths or more.

Washington, who posted a 31.9 all-events score, was backed up by Molly Lawliss (30.25), Karsyn O'Donnell (29.1) and Kaitlyn Timmons (28.2).

Peru's depth was particularly telling on the balance beam where the Indians registered four of the top six scores.

Plattsburgh's Carly Gardner, who was second in two events, had a 30.85 all-around.

The Hornets were without Justin Curtis, who missed the meet with the flu. Curtis is one of the top scorers in vault, bars and floor exercise.

Both teams finished the season 5-4 with Peru winning two of the three meets.
