Northwest Access TV has been supportive of our BFA Families by live streaming our Home JV & Varsity Basketball Games as well as our Varsity Hockey Games this winter because of the Vermont COVID ban on spectators at games. When they broadcast basketball, the stream will be the same for JV & Varsity so anyone watching will be able to keep watching the same video. SITE: https://www.facebook.com/nwatv
