Making the grade: Improved study habits may earn Washpun DI offers
In a pivotal play of his team’s 49-41 upset of Cedar Rapids Jefferson this season, Washington’s Wes Washpun rocked the home gym when he blocked a shot by Jefferson’s Jarrod Uthoff.
At 6-foot-8, the Wisconsin-bound superstar is not used to being embarrassed, especially at the long hands of an AAU summer league teammate who is easily more than a half-foot shorter.
But from his grade school days at Polk Elementary in Cedar Rapids, when he was on a kids squad with future all-staters Marcus Paige of Linn-Mar and Kasey Semler of Marion, Washpun has had springs in his skinny legs. He’s always jumped center, even now as the 6-foot-1 senior point guard for the Warriors.
