Attica gave Batavia a game in the large-school championship of the Pete Arras Lions Tournament at Genesee Community College.
A strategy of ball control -- often running the shot clock down to just seconds -- and a defense that kept the Batavia Blue Devils' high-powered offense from running away with the game meant the visitors had a chance up until their final possession.
In the end, Batavia defended its crown, securing a 53-51 victory.
Camden White, who scored 21 points, many of them off his eight offensive rebounds (he had 11 total rebounds) was named the tournament MVP.
