Bio

Washington comes to the Greyhounds after an outstanding prep career at powerhouse Jonesboro High School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, playing for Head Coach Wes Swift.

As a senior, the 6'1" scorer helped the Hurricane to a 28-3 record culminating in their second state championship in a row, and they did it in dominating fashion as they invoked the Arkansas high school "mercy rule" in all four state tournament games. Washington earned All-Conference, All-State, and All-State Tournament honors, and was selected to participate in the Arkansas High School Coaches Association All-Star Game as one of the state's top seniors where he won MVP honors after scoring 23 points in an 87-75 East team victory. He was also named one of the top five 5A players in the state by the Arkansas Basketball Coaches Association as well as being an Honorable Mention selection on the 2022 Arkansas Sports Media High School Basketball Super Team as one of the top 15 players in the state of Arkansas.

His junior year finished with a 24-3 overall record and 58-56 win in the state championship game, and Washington was named to the All-Conference, All-State, and All-State Tournament teams. He also started as a sophomore for a team that finished 17-11 before falling in the state quarterfinals and was named to the All-State Tournament Team for his performance in two state tournament games.
