One knows exactly what they will get with Murray at this point. What makes Murray so dynamic is her versatility and willingness to play virtually any position on the court. It is a major factor as to why Wilson has been one of the tougher 4A teams to defeat in recent seasons and why the Palmetto 76ers product has received offers from East Carolina, Elon and Johnson C. Smith. Murray is a multi-sport athlete who also plays volleyball in addition to what she gets accomplished on the basketball court. She played in 20 of the Tigers’ 25 games last season while averaging 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game.

The initial half of the fall athletic schedule for Murray is taken up by volleyball. It will not be long before basketball receives the lion’s share (or should we say the Tiger’s share) of Murray’s attention. Murray recently played her final AAU campaign with Palmetto 76ers and has a number of offers to mull over – including those from Elon, East Carolina and Johnson C. Smith. Murray guided her 4A Wilson assembling to a solid 20-5 season in 2025-26. She averaged 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per contest under the tutelage of coach Ki’Ari Cain – and on a new Tigers court to boot. Murray was one of only two from the class of 2027 on last season’s Tigers squad.

Fans of 4A Wilson basketball may see a few familiar names from coach Ki’Ari Cain’s assembling on its volleyball team. Said team has put together a record of 11-10 as of this writing. Murray’s final season of AAU ball was spent sporting a Palmetto 76ers uniform and is mullint over offers from Elon, East Carolina, Queens University and Johnson C. Smith. Murray competed in 20 of the Tigers’ 25 contests last season for a team that finished 20-5. She averaged 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per contest. One of the more versatile veterans across the state, she was one of only two juniors on last season’s Wilson team.

More often than not, Murray is the best player on the court whenever she is on it. There is a reason why the Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite product recently secured offers from Queens University and Johnson C. Smith. When playing Murray, opposing defenders have to game plan for if she will operate as a guard or if she will operate as a big. Murray is as much a defensive playmaker as she is one on the offensive end of the floor. Last season, Murray led her 4A Wilson assembling to a 20-5 record while averaging 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals in the 20 game she played.

Over the weekend, Murray and her 4A Wilson team participated in a team camp at Queens University. Royals coach Jen Brown had to be impressed with what she saw which is why Murray departed said camp with an offer from Queens. Murray also picked up a second offer by way of Johnson C. Smith. She is in the throes of her final travel season with Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite and put up more stellar numbers while sporting Tigers gold and purple. The rising Wilson senior played in 20 of the Tigers’ 25 contests last season for a team that finished 20-5. She averaged 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game in 2025-26.

Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite 17U’s versatility enabled the team to finish 3-2 at Session 2 in New Orleans. One would be hard-pressed to find a talent more versatile than this veteran star hailing from the Pee Dee. In that 61-55 victory over Winners Elite 17U, Murray helped her team’s cause with 13 points. Out of the 13 she placed on the scoreboard, seven occurred in the first half. Murray led 4A Wilson to another solid campaign in 2025-26 as the Tigers finished 20-5 and only dropped two games in its region. Murray averaged 13.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per contest in the 20 games this past season at Wilson.

Murray is another that maintains an active athletic schedule between playing both basketball and volleyball. Among the schools that have extended offers in her direction are Elon and East Carolina. Murray recently began her 2026 travel schedule with Palmetto 76ers/A’ja Wilson Elite which will compete in its next event the weekend of April 11-12 in Rock Hill at the Phenom Lady Rumble. Murray’s 2025-26 season included reaching the 1,000-point plateau for a Wilson team that was among the toughest outs in the 4A classification. She averaged 13.1 points per contest for the Tigers and has been playing at the varsity level since she was an eighth grader.

Since a Jan. 14 defeat to region rival South Florence, Wilson has put together a 10-game win streak. Murray has, once again, been at the nucleus of the Tigers’ winning ways. Wilson shared the same court with Colleton County for the first round of the 4A state tournament and her 15-point, nine-rebound showing helped prolong the Tigers’ season and give the Cougars an early playoff exit. A two-sport athlete who also excels as a volleyball player, she is one of four juniors on this year’s Wilson team with coach Ki’Ari Cain completed her first season at the helm. Wilson will meet up with Gray Collegiate in the second round of the 4A tournament.

Murray’s 4A Wilson team entered Monday’s matchup with 2A Marion shorthanded, meaning it was on others to step their games up. The Swamp Foxes’ defense made Murray work for everything she got and finished with 24 points in what was a low-scoring contest with Marion. Murray displayed her ability to handle the ball with either her right or left hand and can get downhill in a short amount of time – not always a common trait for a forward or a center. Look for Murray to also grab a large number of rebounds as well. Murray had seven of her team’s 12 points at the break.

A hard-fought contest between two of the premier 4A teams in the state in Wilson and South Florence went the way of the Tigers in part because of 15 important points put on the scoreboard by Wilson’s standout junior. While Murray will have occasions where she showcases how offensively versatile she is, the bulk of what she got accomplished against the Bruins occurred in the paint. With the height that South Florence presents defensively in the paint, scoring and rebounding in the interior on the Bruins is not easy, making Murray’s feat all the more remarkable. Out of the 15 she scored, 10 occurred in the second half. Murray was one of the five All-Tournament honorees.
