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.

The Section VII-X Class C and D football playoffs begin tonight, with another Class C semifinal set for Saturday.

When Tupper Lake and Ticonderoga met in the regular season two weeks ago, the game was decided on a last-second touchdown. The Sentinels will host the Lumberjacks again tonight, and this time the winner advances to the Class D title game at top-seeded Moriah.

Tupper Lake (3-4) is coming off a 28-0 win over St. Lawrence. Zach Meade directs the offense — he has thrown for 783 yards and eight touchdowns. His favorite targets are Matt Dechene and Hayden LaMere, who have a combined 44 catches.

Ticonderoga (4-4) beat the Lumberjacks Oct. 16 when Robert Kearns threw his only touchdown pass of the season with two seconds left. Kearns didn't play last week in a lopsided loss to Saranac Lake, and rushing leader Bryant Austin is no longer with the team.

No. 1 seed Ogdensburg hosts No. 4 Gouverneur in a Class C semifinal tonight. The Blue Devils (7-1) have won their last six, with their only loss coming against nonconference Whitney Point. They've scored more than 40 points in five of their eight games, and quarterback Jared Morrow is one of just two quarterbacks in the Northern Football Conference with more than 1,000 passing yards this season.

Gouverneur (3-5) visited Ogdensburg Oct. 16 and lost 47-12. The Wildcats feature running back Zach Cummings, who leads the conference in rushing yards and has carried into the end zone eight times.

In Saturday's Class C action, No. 2 Saranac Lake hosts No. 3 Saranac. The Red Storm (6-1) have the stingiest defense in the NFC and the second-best scoring offense, both of which they displayed in a 54-0 early-season win over the Chiefs. They finished the regular season on a three-game winning streak.

Saranac (4-3) has won its last two. The Chiefs' biggest offensive threats are Dylan Everleth, who has rushed for six touchdowns and caught five scoring passes, and Ben Weightman, who has thrown for 709 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Class B championship game (Peru at Beekmantown) and the Class A semifinals (Potsdam at Massena) are both slated for Monday night.

Plattsburgh High (2-6) hosts rival Seton Catholic (0-7) in a crossover game tonight, and AuSable Valley (0-8) hosts St. Lawrence (2-6).
