Whitehall came away with the championship at Holton's holiday tournament over the weekend, fighting off the Red Devils 35-33 in Saturday's final
after a tough 44-41 win over Muskegon Catholic in the first round Friday night.
The Vikings overcame a turnover-plagued performance offensively against Holton with balanced scoring, led by nine points from freshman guard Peyton Schultz. Sidney Shepherd pulled down 12 rebounds to go with six points.
"Coach (Robert) Jordan does a great job preparing his team and getting them to play hard, forcing a lot of turnovers on our end," Whitehall coach Brian Milliron said. "We need to get better at making the right pass against pressure, but I am very proud of how well they found a way to win."
