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.

SCHENECTADY — Clinton Community College jumped out to a quick lead Thursday and then cruised to a 70-43 victory over Schenectady Community College in women's basketball.

The Cougars (4-1, 3-0 in Mountain Valley Conference) were in command early, opening a 35-15 advantage by halftime.

"We had a great first half and the second half, we were able to give other kids some playing time," Clinton Coach Donna Dixon said.

"We played really well at the start; good defense. It was our goal to play good, consistent defense and shut them down. And we were able to push the ball up the floor and get some good baskets."

Brittany Godreau, the former Chazy player, scored 19 points to lead Clinton while AuSable Valley's Shannon Nutbrown added 12 and Saranac's Carissa Fournia, 11.

Jellisa Curry, recovering from a bout with the flu, chipped in with seven points and nine rebounds.

Andrea Garcia was credited with nine assists and five rebounds while Johni Rae Coryea had seven assists.

Jocelyn Mann scored 17 points and Leigha Motta, 16, for Schenectady.

The Clinton men and women will be at Cayuga Community College Saturday afternoon.
