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.

Eagles beat Huskies at Section VII/X Challenge

DID YOU KNOW?


You can look back over the last 70 years at some of the area athletes and personalities who made headlines in area sports. Flashback will revive memories of great local athletes and outstanding team successes.

PLATTSBURGH — Beekmantown overcame a two-point halftime deficit by outscoring Malone 38-24 in the second stanza at the Larry Cowan Section VII/X Challenge Wednesday at Plattsburgh State.

The Eagles won, 71-59, going 10-for-16 from the free-throw line in the second half. Malo Valerien made a big impact at the charity stripe throughout the game, going 11-for-13.

"I think we buckled down a little bit defensively in the second half," Beekmantown coach Ryan Converse said. "We did a much better job defensively, and really we just played very unselfishly in the second half. We moved ball well, made the extra pass.

"There were a lot of fouls called, and we shot the ball from free throw line very well."

Valerien and Devon Anderson led Beekmantown with 19 points apiece.

Anderson also added 10 rebounds, and Valerien grabbed 10 boards.

Thomas Ryan picked up 10 rebounds for the Eagles.

"We finally played a complete game," Converse said. "We were right there in the first half, we just had a couple bad bounces. But we kept our composure."

Jared Heden was Malone's leading scorer with 16 points. Jake Gravel added 10 for Malone.

PLATTSBURGH — Gene Bouyer tore into Plattsburgh High's defense with 42 points in Ogdensburg Free Academy's victory.

The Hornets held a 33-25 advantage at the half before being outscored by 13 in the second.

"We went away from what we were successful with in the first half, which was crashing the boards and transition. Our guys just didn't step up. We've got to take more pride in our defense."

PHS (4-2, 3-1) was led by Kyle LaPoint's 21 points. Kyle Knight added 17 for the Hornets and Jordan Knight pitched in with 12.
