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.

SYRACUSE — Section III's Skaneateles ended Beekmantown's season Saturday with a 3-0 victory in Class B the regional volleyball playoffs at Jamesville-DeWitt High School.

Unbeaten Skaneateles, which is 21-0 on the season, won by games scores of 25-19, 25-17, 25-16.

The hosts got strong play from their five seniors, especially Ryan Merle, Emily Wood and Katharine Hill, who combined for 20 kills and seven blocks.

Defensively, the Eagles were able to keep up with the quick tempo offense of Skaneateles, with Kelsey Barnes recording 22 digs, Brittany Lapham 13 and Alyssa Momot, 10.

Jenna Brault, who recorded a team-high eight kills, led Beekmantown with five points, while four other players added four apiece. Lapham also had 16 assists.

The Eagles, who won the CVAC championship and Section VII title, for the first time since 1997, ended their season with an 18-2 mark.

"We have only four seniors graduating from the 17-player roster," said Beekmantown coach Shana Hileman. "The underclassmen are a great group of athletes who are already training and preparing for the 2010 fall transition season."
