A road game at Manson scheduled for Friday (Dec. 20) was postponed because weather conditions made travel problematic. The team’s next action will be Friday and Saturday (Dec. 27-28), when Liberty Bell hosts a holiday tournament that includes Bridgeport, Entiat and Pateros. Games start at 1:30 p.m. on Friday and at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Methow Valley School District website.
