West Valley College's Murry signs with WJU

William Jessup University's men's basketball coach Lance Von Vogt announced the signing to Chris Murry to the 2014 recruiting class.

Murry, a 5'11 guard, transfers to the Warriors from West Valley College. The Fremont native averaged 16.3 points, 4.4 assist and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 40% from the three-point line in his two seasons for the Vikings. He was twice named to the California Junior College All-State 2nd team and South Bay All-Conference team. West Coast Hoops tabbed Murry as one of the top 100 junior college players on the West Coast.

In high school, Murry starred at Kennedy High School in Fremont. He averaged 19.0 points and 3.2 assist in his senior season. With his stellar play, he was a two-time All-Mission Valley Conference team member.
Murry stated: "It's an honor to join the Warriors program. Coach Von Vogt and Coach Hernandez have given me the opportunity I need to become a better Christian, earn my degree and play the game I love. I look forward to representing the Warriors on and off the court."

Coach Von Vogt stated: "Chris has shown himself to be an outstanding young man both on and off the basketball court. His ability to shoot, pass, handle and defend will shore up gaps on the perimeter for us over the next two seasons. Coach Eitelgeorge at West Valley did a terrific job of developing Chris so that he will be able to step on campus and make an instant impact for us in a positive way. Chris is a complete guard capable of playing both ends of the court while also excelling in transition. I am very excited to welcome him to our William Jessup Warrior basketball family."
