He’s not done just yet.
Basketball gear has been turned in, and he’s moved on to the baseball diamond, but the hardwood still calls to Xavier Murdy.
The Coupeville High School senior has been tabbed to play in the WIBCA All-State game this Saturday, Mar. 19.
The event, put together by the Washington Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association, goes down at Curtis High School in University Place.
There are three games, with each bout — 4A vs. 3A, 2A vs. 1A, and 2B vs. 1B — featuring a collection of the best senior hoops stars in Washington state.
Murdy is slated to appear in the 2B/1B game.
He’ll by joined on the 11-man 2B roster by players such as Jackson Esary of Kalama, Gary Dotson of Morton-White Pass, and John Lustig of Colfax.
During his senior season, Murdy led Coupeville in scoring and rebounding, helping fuel the program’s best performance in decades.
The Wolves finished 16-2, winning their first league title since 2002, capturing their first district crown since 1970, and advancing to the state tourney for the first time since 1988.
Murdy tallied a game-high 24 points against Kalama in Coupeville’s state opener, then tossed in 10 more against Lake Roosevelt in game two.
