Why does Washington High School sound so familiar to me?

Washington is also the name of the high school where Simms-Edwards plays.

There used to be a show called Welcome Back Kotter, and there was a character named Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington. Probably that.

[pinstripers]

"why do they call you Boom Boom?", says Kotter

Freddie, pretending to play the bass, makes the sound, "Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom"

"Oh," says Cotter, "it's because you like to play the bass"

"No", says Freddie, "it's because I like to PRETEND I'm playing the bass"

George Carver's middle name was Washington.
