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.

PHS girls quiet Red Storm

DID YOU KNOW?


You can look back over the last 70 years at some of the area athletes and personalities who made headlines in area sports. Flashback will revive memories of great local athletes and outstanding team successes.

PLATTSBURGH — Marle Curle scored with less than nine minutes to play in the first half Friday and Plattsburgh High made it stand up for a 1-0 victory over stubborn Saranac Lake in the Section VII Class B quarterfinals in girls' soccer.

The Hornets will play Wednesday against the winner of Monday's Saranac-AuSable Valley quarterfinal.

The Red Storm managed to frustrate the Hornets, who were without leading scorer Sarah Carter. She missed her third straight game with an ankle injury. She is expected to play on Wednesday.

Charisse Abellard's pass from midfield set up Curle, who let go with a shot from 25 yards that caught Saranac Lake keeper Mallory Cotter a little off line. The goal came at 31:29.

"We had the wind with us the first half, but didn't capitalize," PHS Coach Tim Mulligan said. "But Saranac Lake gave us a different look than the last time we played them. They certainly played good defense tonight and Rhonwen Jones in the back played very well."
