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. 

Those that are aficionados of 4A Wilson have to be overjoyed that the 5-foot-11 junior star is once again sporting a uniform that is gold and purple. The final day of the Magic City Holiday Showcase saw Murray and her Tigers compete against 5A Morrow from Georgia. Murray bolstered her team’s efforts with nine points. Between her tall frame and her skill, Murray is on the winning end of many a rebounding battle. As someone who has proven she can get front of a defender and play with her back to the basket, Murray knows how to operate as a traditional big. As someone who understands attacking the rim from the perimeter, Murray understands how to play as a three or four. She did score 17 in a 56-47 win over Ascension Academy.

Murray did not have a far distance to travel to arrive at the Pearl Moore Center given the Pee Dee is her home base. Murray made news during the offseason by announcing she would transfer from 4A Wilson to Trinity Collegiate – defending 4A SCISA champions which are moving to 3A. Murray was part of Team Cooper this past weekend. As a defender, Murray can match an opposing ball handler step for step and knows how to get her hand up to negatively affect the trajectory of an opponent’s shot. Her frame, stature and talent make her a tall task to handle when she has the ball in her hand, and she will get in position to corral plenty of rebounds. Murray averaged 19.6 points, 8.4 boards and 3.8 steals last season with the Tigers. 

A two-sport athlete who excels as both a basketball player and in the volleyball ranks, Murray is one of the more intriguing 2027s across the Palmetto State. She announced on her social media that she will be shifting her hoops journey over to Trinity Collegiate – the defending 4A SCISA champions that are moving down to 3A. In her sophomore season, she led a 4A Wilson team that finished with a 19-9 record and finished only behind Lower Richland in its region. Murray first played at the varsity level as an eighth grader and put up career numbers in her sophomore campaign with the Tigers. She averaged 19.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.8 steals. 

Wilson has had banner seasons in the 4A ranks lately in large part thanks to the heroics of this talented veteran from the Pee Dee. Murray is a two-sport athlete who also plays volleyball alongside what she gets accomplished on the basketball court. Murray was one of the participants at the team camp at Elon and was rewarded with an offer. She has played at the varsity level since she was an eighth grader and put up career numbers in her sophomore campaign last season with Wilson. Those numbers included averaging 19.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.8 steals per contest. Murray was previously offered by Hampton, South Carolina State and East Carolina. 

Tigers teammates, coaches and fans have Murray to thank as a huge reason why Wilson (fifth-ranked in most recent 4A coaches poll) maintained its undefeated record after a tough contest against 3A Scotland. Murray concluded her evening with 23 points to lift her Tigers to a tough 45-41 victory over the Scots. The win is the second-smallest margin of victory for Wilson so far this season (44-41 on Nov. 30 vs. Powdersville). Murray typically plays at the three but her 5-foot-11 stature ensures she will come up big for her team as a scorer and as a rebounder. She is also a gifted defender with an ability to get from one end of the floor to the other with the ball in her hands. Murray is also willing to draw contact to get to the free throw line. The sophomore is a two-sport athlete who also competes in varsity volleyball at Wilson.
