Prep talk: Washington Prep’s Jayshawn Kibble is off to fast start

Jayshawn Kibble has returned to City Section basketball, and so far he’s dominating. The Washington Prep senior scored 29 points against Lawndale, 34 against Gardena Serra, 24 against Bishop Montgomery and 30 against Inglewood.

He won a City Open Division championship when he was a sophomore for King/Drew. He went to St. Anthony last season, then transferred to Washington Prep, which has several former King/Drew players.

Washington Prep is 2-2 and lost to Inglewood 102-85 on Wednesday after leading in the third quarter.

In a City Section season lacking depth among top players and top teams, Kibble could lead the Generals to the championship.
