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.

Bouyer, Carder lead Saints over Cougars

Press-Republican

SARANAC LAKE — Gene Bouyer scored 32 points and dished out seven assists as North Country Community College men's basketball moved above .500 with a 93-72 victory over Clinton Community College Wednesday.

The Saints jumped out to a 19-3 lead to start the game, including connecting on five three's during that stretch. The Cougars, however, rallied to pull within 10 points at the half.

"It was a 12-to-16 lead for most of the game," North Country coach Chad LaDue said. "We put pressure on at the beginning of the second half and around the 13 minute mark I felt good at where we were.

"The biggest thing is that every recruiting class I have had has beaten Clinton at least once. We needed this win for our sophomores to be able to do that."

Steve Carder chipped in with 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Saints (13-12). Darien Briscoe finished with 10 points.

"This was a big game for us," LaDue said. "It's always a tough game when these two teams get together. Kevin (Daugherty) always has his guys prepared and ready to play.

"Gene handled the ball for us a lot tonight and played very well. Carder gave us another workman's effort. This was a tough game for him with so many guards on the floor, but he really stayed it with it and played well."

Sal Fabozzi and Chris Miller each tallied 16 points to lead the way for Clinton. Vince Carter added 13 points while Zach Basso finished with 12 points.

North Country hits the road for a 1 p.m. contest Saturday at Columbia-Greene. Clinton, meanwhile, travels to Mohawk Valley for a 5 p.m. game Saturday.
