Allen's Nehemiah Lawrence: The 5'3" Scoring Machine Dominating DFW Basketball
February 11, 2026
Discover how Allen High School's 5'3" point guard Nehemiah Lawrence is dominating DFW basketball with elite scoring, defense, and heart.
Nehemiah Lawrence of Allen High School is redefining what it means to be a dominant basketball player. Despite standing at 5'3", Lawrence has become a dynamic force for the Eagles, leading their baseline-to-baseline pressure defense with intensity. Currently averaging 20.2 points per game on over 50% shooting, he also contributes four assists and nearly four steals per contest. His ability to impact both ends of the floor makes him one of the premier two-way players in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As the emotional leader for Coach Cipoletta’s squad, Lawrence’s impact goes beyond the stat sheet. Committed to the Hampton Pirates, he continues to prove that heart and skill outweigh physical stature. Opposing teams struggle to contain his speed and defensive tenacity, making him the ultimate mismatch problem on the court.
