Idris Price began his football career at Brien McMahon High School in Norwalk, Connecticut. There, Idris led the infamous "Hit Squad '94" to a state championship trophy. That year, (his junior year) the Senators recorded an unheard of 9 shutouts throughout the season.

Unfortunately, in 1993, "Hit Squad '93" was ambushed by Chris "White Lightning" Silvestri and the NC Rams, who ran all over the Sens for almost 300 yards and a 28-0 victory. New Canaan fans added an "s" to the "hit squad" to make the name more fitting.
