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.

Hornets oust another higher seed for tennis title

Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — Beekmantown coach Dan Rillahan said he and Plattsburgh High coach Peter Luguri knew the team championship would come down to the No. 2 doubles.

After losing the first set, the Hornets duo of Chirag Patel and Chris Gray edged Beekmantown's Spencer Keable and Willis Reid-Breyette, 6-3, 6-3, to take the match.

The Hornets, seeded fourth, won the Section VII boys' tennis crown with a 3-2 win over the third-seeded Eagles Tuesday at Plattsburgh High.

It was another win over a higher seed for Plattsburgh High, which sent top-seeded Northeastern Clinton packing in the semifinals on Monday.

Beekmantown was also the defending champion.

Mark Price and Eric Mitchell, the finalists in the individual boys' singles, won singles matches for Beekmantown.

But the Hornets swept both doubles matches, and Alex Racine won the No. 3 singles with a tie-breaking win in the second set.

Shea Crockett and Danny O'Halloran won the No. 1 singles for the Hornets in two sets, 6-4, 6-1, over Beekmantown's Charles Payson and Dylan Riley.

"They were all good matches," Rillahan said. "The tiebreaker in third singles was a close one."
