Washington was scoring the ball at will against Garfield Heights and showcased why he is a Big Ten commit. Known for his athleticism and shot creating, Washington was making shots in a variety of ways and could get into his form even with defenders closing in. Quick enough handle to create the space and knocked down perimeter and midrange shots with fluid form. With his brother Jackson Washington out dealing with foul trouble and a late injury, George carried the Eagles offensively and seemingly made shots when they needed in the first half. Struggled in the second half with shot selection as Garfield Heights tightened their defensive grip, but Washington certainly is making a case for GCL Coed Player of the Year and is going to be a big reason why C-J makes a case to be Division II’s state champion.

A newcomer to the state, Washington III comes from Kentucky and will hope to give Chaminade Julienne the help they need to get over the hump and win a state title. The future Michigan Wolverine is one of the most exciting players to watch in Ohio.

Washington moved from Louisville to Dayton, following his Dad getting a new assistant coaching job for the Dayton’s women’s basketball team. Washington will make Chaminade Julienne a state title contender in Division II. Washington also recently committed to Michigan.
