PREP SPORTS: Winter weather wrecks havoc on schedule again; LC-Ferndale girls still expected to play at 5 p.m.

12:01pm on Jan 20, 2012; Modified: 3:41pm on Jan 20, 2012

Another chilly day — another day of cancellations in the Northwest Conference.

For the fifth straight day, a series of winter storms and freezing temperatures has sent high school athletic directors scrambling to rework high school sports schedules.

Every NWC sporting event scheduled for Friday evening had been postponed or cancelled, except for one. The lone remaining game is a girls’ basketball game between Lynden Christian and Ferndale, which has been shifted to a 5 p.m. tip-off at Ferndale High School.

The icy road conditions around the region even have had an impact on the slate for Saturday, Jan. 21. The Mount Baker boys’ and girls’ wrestling teams have already called off their trips to Spokane for Saturday’s Dream Duals tournament, while the Sehome Invitational gymnastics meet has been postponed to a yet undetermined date. Bellingham’s boys’ basketball game at Burlington-Edison and its girls’ basketball game at home against the Tigers on Saturday have also been delayed until 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 23.

Many of Friday’s events have already been rescheduled, and here is a sport-by-sport look at those changes, as they stand now:
