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.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Willsboro made an early statement during opening-day action in Mountain & Valley Athletic Conference boys' soccer Wednesday afternoon.

Alex Hamel scored two goals and added two assists as the Warriors broke loose in the second half for a surprisingly easy 7-2 victory over Elizabethtown-Lewis.

"We expected to have a tough game," said Willsboro coach Andrew Lee. "They played well in the Northeastern Clinton Tournament and were coming in on a high note.

"We beat them in the sectionals last year, and we felt they would be ready for us."

Hamel and Patrick Wells gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead at the half, with Clay Sherman assisting on both goals.

The goals then came fast and furious in the second half.

"There were four goals scored — two by each team — in a very short amount of time," Lee said.

Brandon Bertrand, Wells, John Pollock, Sherman and Hamel all tallied after intermission for the Warriors.

Tyler White and Conner Apthorp scored goals for Elizabethtown-Lewis. Cody Sayward made four saves in net for Willsboro.
