Overton guard Jasmine Robinson took a shot to the mouth Thursday afternoon late in her team’s Class AAA state quarterfinal with Oak Ridge.


Robinson simply put her jersey over her mouth. The Alabama signee was used to the scrappy play.

Robinson scored a game-high 18 points to lead the Lady Wolverines to a 47-42 win over Oak Ridge in their TSSAA Class AAA state quarterfinal at Murphy Center. It marks the second consecutive season that Overton has reached the state semifinals.
