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.

Cougars settle for tie

Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — The Clinton Community College men's soccer team was six minutes away from a win Wednesday night.

But Ebrina Bakarr's goal gave visiting Adirondack Community College a 1-1 overtime tie with the Cougars.

It was a scoreless game before Gabe Hynes put Clinton (1-4-1) ahead with 25 minutes gone in the second half.

"Kyle Reynolds sent in a low shot and Hynes was at the right place at the right time to deflect it in," said Clinton head coach Zac Eppler.

But Bakarr forced overtime at 39:00.

"The ball came in from the right side and there was a scramble in front," Epper said.

The Cougars, who held an 11-6 shot advantage, had to play a man down from the 40-minute mark of the first half the rest of the way due to a red card.

"We still outshot them despite being a player down," Eppler said. "We were unlucky tonight.

"We controlled most of the game and I felt it was one of the best games we've played so far. We passed the ball well, made the right runs and communicated well."

Justin LaVarnway recorded five saves in net for the Cougars, and Logan Haynes had seven stops for the visitors.

Defender Ryan Latinville and midfielders Hynes and Kyle Knight played well for Clinton.
