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.

NORWOOD — So the Chateaugay Bulldogs are not invincible after all.

The Bulldogs dropped their first game of the season Tuesday, but rallied to defeat the Ogdensburg Blue Devils 3-1 for the overall championship in Section X girls' volleyball.

Chateaugay (19-0) will advance to the state tournament Saturday, meeting up with either Lake George or Mayfield in the first round of the Class D playoffs. The Bulldogs are two-time Final Four participants and state runners-up last year.

Chateaugay started off well Tuesday, beating the Blue Devils 25-4 behind the stellar serving of Amanda Woodward, who had a 16-point run to open the game.

However, OFA, came back to win the second game, 25-18 — the first time Chateaugay has lost a game all season.

"We played great the first game, but we didn't play very well the second," Chateaugay Coach Chris Reynolds admitted. "But Ogdensburg is a very good team. Their only loss during the season was to us.

"And it's good for us to find out how we react to losing and being down."

Chateaugay came back to win Game 3 25-18 and then finished off the overall championship match with a 25-15 triumph.

Erika LaBombard was credited with 18 assists while Cindy Harrigan finished with 10 assists, 6 kills and one block. Annie Smith contributed 11 points, 5 aces, 23 kills and one block and Michelle Swanston added 10 points with two aces and a block. Stephanie Boyea had five kills.

Woodward, who also had a seven-point run inthe third, finished with 31 points and six aces.

Reynolds and assistant coach Larry Barcomb will take in today's Lake George-Mayfield playoff in Section II. The game is scheduled to start at 11 a.m.
