The 6-foot-7 Springfield native earned the national accolade after posting impressive numbers in SOU’s key Cascade Conference wins last weekend against then-second-ranked Western Baptist (73-70) and Concordia (77-61). Against Western Baptist, Washington compiled a game-high 28 points and a team season-best 18 rebounds. Against Concordia, he posted his league-leading 12th double-double by scoring 31 points and grabbing 11 boards. The weekend performances upped the former Thurston High star to No. 2 in the 10-team conference for scoring (19.9) and padded his leading rebounding clip to 10.9. Washington is also in the top 10 for blocks (second, 1.74 per game), field goal percentage (fourth, .556) and free throw efficiency (10th, .766). The Montana State-Bozeman transfer is fifth among NAIA players for rebounding, 14th for scoring and 25th for blocks. Washington, a three-time conference player-of-the-week selection who surpassed the 1,000-point plateau in less than two seasons on Saturday, also won the national honor last February. Washington and the first-place Raiders, who moved up 14 spots to No. 10 in today’s ranking — the school’s highest perch since 1999 — visit Evergreen State and Northwest this weekend.
