He wants his final season at Edgewater to be a memorable one, starting with changing his number to 35, the same number his dad wore at Edgewater.
“It was just something that I wanted to continue,” Washington told News 6. “It was something I fell in love with. (My dad) played, I played, my grandad played, so it was something I just fell in love with and wanted to continue (…) I’m happy for (Edgewater); I’m trying to get a state championship this year. Hopefully, we can get it and end off on a good note.”
