BRISTOL — The Mount Abraham girls’ and Otter Valley boys’ and girls’ teams all won in high school basketball play earlier this week.
Postponements struck on Wednesday. The Eagle boys’ game at Vergennes was moved to Thursday at 7:30 p.m., and the Middlebury boys’ game at St. Albans game was also called off due to the countywide snow day. No make-up date was immediately announced for that contest.
