Osbourn's Jahaan Roberson

Osbourn basketball player Jahaan Roberson is the Manassas Patch Athlete of the Week for the week of February 14-20

Jahaan Roberson of Osbourn High School’s boys basketball team has been selected as the Manassas Patch Athlete of the Week. Roberson helped the Eagles basketball team to a district title this past week as they beat Battlefield in the championship game.

It was Jahaan Roberson’s performance in the district championship game  that earned him the  honor.

Osbourn’s star center, Izzy Freeman, was not as productive as he normally is in Friday night’s title game, but that turned out to be no problem as Jahaan Roberson came to the rescue.
