UK signee PJ Washington ‘excited’ to showcase new skills in Kentucky this week

Findlay Prep’s upcoming weekend doubleheader in western Kentucky wasn’t even on the schedule when the Pilots began their season back in November.

A little while after Findlay’s star player, PJ Washington, announced his commitment to UK on Nov. 10, tournament organizers reached out to the Nevada basketball program to see if the future Wildcat might be interested in playing a high school game in Kentucky.

“That’s why we scheduled these games,” said Findlay Prep Coach Paul Washington, who is also PJ’s father. “We’re definitely excited to make it happen in the state of Kentucky and let some of the people in a different part of the state see his game, if they haven’t seen it already.
