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.

POTSDAM — The Maple Hill Wildcats, state runners-up in Class C last year, earned a return trip to the Final Four Saturday with a 68-42 victory over the Ticonderoga Sentinels at SUNY Potsdam.

Maple Hill (24-1) shot out to a 24-9 lead after one quarter and maintained a comfortable advantage over Section VII champion Ticonderoga (7-13).

"Our game plan was definitely to slow it down, but we couldn't stop from getting in the lane," Ticonderoga Coach Matt Cossey said.

"We didn't give them a lot of second opportunities, but they didn't need to. They made some shots early, got some momentum and then felt like they couldn't miss."

The Sentinels were successful in limiting Christopher Despart, who torched Brushton-Moira for 27 on Friday night. But David Briggs picked up the slack with 23 while Sean Danaher chipped in with 13.

"Briggs had 15 in the first half. We switched to a 2-3 zone to start the second half, but got out of that in a hurry after he (Briggs) hit two quick threes," Cossey related.

Nick Mars scored 12 points to lead Ticonderoga.
