Price was also named to the All-SSC first team having led the conference in blocks, whilst ranking fifth in scoring and second in field goal percentage with an efficient 56% accuracy.

The former GB junior international – who played at Ipswich before a year at Northumbria – poured in a best of 27 points in December and maintained a consistent scoring presence throughout the season with five 20+ point games in total.

Price recorded three double-doubles and was also recently named Defensive Player of the Week having registered seven blocks in a single game.

Eckerd finished the regular season with a 20-3 record on the season – going 15-5 in conference play having already advanced to the semi-finals of the post-season tournament.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
