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.

CCC women defeat Adirondack



PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College came out firing, knocking down nine 3-pointers before halftime, on its way to a 77-59 victory over visiting Adirondack Community College Friday night in women's basketball.

The Cougars (2-1) quickly got in front and by intermission, led ACC 45-27. Adirondack never got closer than 15 after halftime and Clinton enjoyed a 25-point bulge at one point.

"We played well. We came out shooting very well, we shared the ball — we had 22 assists — and we played really good defense the first half and shut down their big kids," Clinton Coach Donna Dixon said.

Johni Rae Coryea scored all 14 of her points in the first half with Andrea Garcia and Shannon Nutbrown each chipping in with 12.

Nutbrown went on to lead all scorers with 18 points, to go along with 20 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks.

"Shannon had a huge game," Dixon added.

Adirondack (0-2) adjusted its defense to cut down on Clinton's perimeter shooting, but the Cougars responded by getting the ball inside. Brittany Godreau scored 14 in the half and Carissa Fournia, 10.

Clinton held a big edge in rebounding, grabbing 36 defensive boards and 16 off the offensive glass. Coryea had 11, along with six assists and a steal while Fournia collected five rebounds and five assists and Garcia, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

"Andrea Garcia played her best game yet as a freshman," Dixon said.
