Megan Westmoreland, who scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, was named tournament MVP.
Freshman guard Beth Ann Hamilton scored a team-high 17 points. Lindsey Kitchens added 14 points and Katie Coker 11 for North Hall.
The Lady Warriors (1-1) led 12-10 after the first quarter but North Hall came back to take a 43-42 lead into halftime.
The Lady Trojans blew the game open in the third quarter outscoring White County 17-12. North Hall held on in the fourth quarter.
north Hall is off until it plays host to West Hall next Tuesday.
