Overton embarassed by Central

Rather than standing, as is his usual custom during games, Overton girls basketball coach Jamie Rosser had taken a seat midway through the third period Wednesday with his Lady Wolverines trailing Central by double digits in the teams' Region 8-AAA girls title game at Wooddale.

Sitting near Rosser were his top three players -- juniors Jasmine Robinson, Orlandria Williams and Karisma Tyson. All had been benched for the majority of the second half in an embarrassing 59-31 region title-game loss to Central.
