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.

NCCS, Peru spikers outlast foes



CLINTONVILLE — Northeastern Clinton and AuSable Valley, two teams looking to make a statement this winter, collided for the first time this season Tuesday with the visiting Cougars prevailing 3-2 in a 2½-hour classic confrontation.

Northeastern Clinton won 18-25, 25-17, 18-25, 25-23, 25-15 to rebound from its first loss and improve to 4-1 in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference volleyball. The loss snapped AuSable Valley's three-match winning streak, dropping the Patriots to 3-2.

"We always seem to match up really well with NCCS," AuSable Valley Coach Sandy Hoey said. "Even though we lost, it was a great volleyball match with a lot of strong volleys.

"NCCS is really scrappy and a good defensive team. Tonight, they really had energy and the momentum. They didn't let many balls hit the floor."

Ayisha Loya, Alyssa Rabideau, Ashley Goyette and Mallory Honan led the defensive effort with 23 kills and 20 digs among them. Loya also had a strong serving game with five aces.

Alex Hoey was strong defensively (12 kills, 30 digs) and offensively (12 aces) for the Patriots. Emily Miller also was strong at the net with 12 kills and two blocks while Shiloh Bourgeois chipped in with eight kills and 17 digs. Karissa Fuller also had a great match for the Patriots.
