Overton's girls basketball team earned its first state-tournament berth in school history Saturday night by shocking 2008 state runnerup Millington, 70-66, in a Class AAA sectional game.
Junior Jasmine Robinson's 28 points led an Overton team that had been embarrassed by 28 points in a Region 8-AAA title-game loss to Central on Wednesday.
Freshmen Cortice Golden and Cornelia Fondren added 15 and 10 points, respectively, for the Lady Wolverines (26-6).
