ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Jireh Price

Randleman, boys’ basketball

Price has been a key contributor as Randleman enters January with an undefeated record.

The senior is putting together a solid senior season, ranking second among the Tigers in scoring. He scores almost exclusively on 3-point shots as he has bagged 32 baskets from beyond the arc and just one 2-point hoop.

Price has accounted for almost half of Randleman’s 3-point baskets, while shooting 45 percent from long range.

The Tigers are off this week before Tuesday night’s home game against Uwharrie Charter Academy.
