PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

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.

Westport, Crown Point boys win



WESTPORT — Nathan Gay scored 14 of his game-high 23 points in the third quarter Thursday night and Westport rallied for a 52-48 victory over Schroon Lake in Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference boys' basketball.

The Wildcats jumped out to an 18-9 lead in the first quarter and held a 23-15 lead after a cold-shooting second stanza.

"It was our first game and we came out flat," said Westport coach Brad Rascoe. "They came out hitting their shots and Cody Armstrong hit two three-pointers in the first quarter for them."

But, the Eagles got it together after intermission and outscored Schroon Lake by a combined 37-25 in the second half, including a 22-13 edge in the third.

"We made a couple of changes, but the main thing was that we picked up the intensity," Rascoe said.

In addition to Gay's 23 points, Bo McKinley tossed in 19 as the two combined for 42 of Westport's 52 points. Gay hauled down 16 rebounds and both Kevin Russell and Jesse Stevens added seven apiece.

Armstrong finished with 15 points to lead the Wildcats. Brennan Bush added 12 and Wesley Beers, 11.

CROWN POINT — Crown Point coach Randy Mandy wasn't all that pleased with his team's performance in the first half.

Apparently, the Panthers got the message.

Center John Budwick led the Panthers with 23 points and 15 rebounds, while Tony Rodriquez added 13 points, Will Glebus 10 and Nate Tabor, eight.

"Rodriquez had a strong game with seven assists, while Glebus had seven of his 10 points in the fourth quarter," Mandy said. "And, Budwick, who is 6-8, did a good job getting up and down the floor. He had an outstanding game."

Lucas Strong and Alex Hamel accounted for 18 points each for the Warriors. Strong connected on four three-pointers and Hamel on three. Alex Shepard added seven points.
