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 scored the only goal of the game Wednesday night as Northern Adirondack recorded a victory over Ticonderoga in the Section VII Class C girls' soccer semifinal held at Plattsburgh High School.

The Bobcats will return to PHS next Wednesday when they take on top-seeded Seton Catholic in the finals.

Rabideau's goal came off a great individual effort with 31:34 gone in the first half.

"She got a loose ball about 40 yards out and beat a couple of defenders," said Northern Adirondack coach Jared Peryea. "It was a semi-breakaway and a nice finish."

The Bobcats ended up with an 8-2 advantage in shots, and Jesslin Golovach made one save for the shutout. Jocelyn Barber stopped five shots for the Sentinels, who got a strong game from midfielder Samantha Diehl.

"We've been fighting illness and injuries during the week, and I give credit to the girls for coming through," said Peryea. "They got the job done as a group, even though it wasn't pretty.

"We live, however, for another day."
