ADDISON COUNTY — In local high school basketball action earlier this week, the Otter Valley boys won on the road and the Middlebury boys lost at home, but Tuesday’s bad weather wiped out the rest of the slate, including games for the Vergennes boys and girls, MUHS boys, and Mount Abraham boys.
Tuesday’s VUHS girls’ game at Montpelier was postponed until Dec. 29, while the VUHS boys’ game at BFA-Fairfax was moved to Wednesday at VUHS, weather permitting.
The Tiger boys’ home game vs. Burr & Burton and the Eagle boys’ home game vs. Randolph were postponed, with no make-up dates immediately set.
The Mount Abe girls hosted OV on Monday; see story on Page 1B.

On Monday, the Otters spotted host Poultney a 16-14 first-quarter lead, but roared back for a 59-39 win.
The Otters went to a press and took charge with a 14-1 run in the second quarter. When Poultney cut OV’s lead to 10 in the fourth, the Otters responded with a 14-2 spurt. OV held Poultney to a combined 11 points in the middle periods.
