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 boys reach Class B title game



CHAZY — Jordan Knight scored a goal and assisted on two others Wednesday night as Plattsburgh High School rolled into the Section VII Class B boys' soccer finals with a 3-0 win over Saranac.

The defending champion Hornets oppose Northeastern Clinton at 7 p.m. in Chazy on Friday for the B title.

Knight gave the Hornets the lead at 20:30 of the first half when he took a thru ball from Jordan Conroy and scored on a breakaway in close.

Knight then sent a diagonal pass to Conroy, who one-timed the ball into the net at 2:31 of the second half for a 2-0 Plattsburgh lead.

The Hornets added their third goal at 33:29 when Knight took the ball down the left side and passed it to C.J. Worley, who one-timed the ball into the net.

"We possessed the ball very well tonight and shielded it well," said Plattsburgh coach Chris LaRose. "We were able to keep the pressure on their defense. Offensively, we finished when we needed to.

"Saranac has some speed on the outside, and we didn't let them beat us to the ball."

The Hornets outshot the Chiefs 29-4 and Chris Roenbeck, making his first career start in net, made four saves for the shutout. Bill Badger stopped 17 shots for Saranac.

"Jordan Conroy and Drew Wyand did a great job controlling the midfield for us, while Ethan Votraw and Jordan Knight played well up top," said LaRose.

"For Saranac, Badger was strong in net, while seniors Alex Holtsclaw, Matt Hamilton and Mitch Wood played well."
