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.

CHAMPLAIN — AuSable Valley earned its first win over Plattsburgh High in more than a decade this season.

On Friday, they ended another losing streak in impressive fashion.

The Division II-champion Patriots limited Northeastern Clinton to its lowest point total of the season in a 47-28 victory in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys' basketball.

AuSable Valley (14-1, 11-1), still unbeaten in conference play, hadn't earned a win over the Cougars since the 2004-05 season.

Austin Depo led the Patriots with 10 points and 10 rebounds, and Brody Douglass added 11 points.

AuSable Valley limited the Cougars to single digits in each of the first three quarters. The Patriots held a 23-14 lead at the half.

Northeastern Clinton (9-4, 8-3) was held to 22 points less than its season average. The Cougars didn't help themselves at the charity stripe, where they made just 5-of-16.

Kevin Sousa led Northeastern Clinton with seven points coming off the bench.
