Pharaohs rely on guard duo Nelson and Price for high scoring
Egyptian High's dynamic backcourt of senior Carmer Nelson and junior Devantae Price drives the Pharaohs’ offense in Southern Illinois. Coach Matt Mandrell notes both guards handle, score, and rim attack while Price adds ball handling and rebounding. Nelson’s injury in the conference title game exposed gaps, as Meridian capitalized with a two-guard lineup. Nelson, a quick driver and defender, and Price, the steadier ball handler, developed into a complementary, high scoring pair since starting last year.
