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.

Douglass eclipses 1,000 points as Patriots roll

Anonymous Press-Republican The Press Republican Wed Jan 25, 2012, 08:10 AM EST

CLINTONVILLE — Brody Douglass eclipsed 1,000 career points as AuSable Valley defeated Ticonderoga, 64-27, in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference boys' basketball Tuesday.

Douglass, who entered the game with 995, scored 16 points for the Patriots. He moved past 1,000 points about midway through the first quarter in a span of about 10 seconds.

His first points of the game came after he stole the ball and got a fastbreak layup. Douglass stole the in-bounds pass and made a layup while being fouled.

Douglass knocked down a free throw for his 1,000th point, bringing on a momentary pause in game action as coach Jamie Douglass, also his uncle, presented him with the game ball.

The Patriots ran out to a 26-4 lead after one quarter and were ahead by 36 at the half.

Shane Douglass led the AuSable Valley (12-1, 9-0) with 18 points, three assists and three steals, and Nick Rhino added 17 points and 10 rebounds. Brody also tallied 10 rebounds and six steals.

Brody is now the third-leading all-time scorer for AuSable Valley. His 1,011 points sits behind Joey Nixon's 1,016. John Nixon is the leading scorer in Patriots history with 1,151.

Nate Lenhart paced the Sentinels (5-5, 4-4) with 12 points, knocking down three 3-point shots.

Michael Graney hit two triples and finished with eight points.
