Coach Murray is originally from a small town in Alaska, called Kenai. He began wrestling in junior high school and continued through high school, competing in the State Championship tournaments his final two years. He is married to wife, Kay, for 14 years and has two sons, Kyle (9) and Kelly (7) and has lived in Grand Prairie for six years. Their family motto is “Murray’s never quit.”

In the past Coach Murray coached T-Ball and soccer for the YMCA. He is currently employed as a Controller for Lincoln Property Company over their Restaurant Group and has been on the financial side of food service for the last 12 years.

Coach Murray says, “The sport of wrestling has had a great deal to do with who I am today and the way I approach life’s challenges. Problems in life will always face us. The way we face these problems demonstrates the character within us. Competing in the sport of wrestling, even at the high school level, gave me an understanding of abilities I never knew I had. You are challenged to compete against unknown, often larger opponents armed with only your physical talents, training, technique and heart. When the referee turns you loose, your attack becomes a medley of those ingredients, with each match consisting of a different combination. I can’t think of another sport that exploits every aspect of competition the way wrestling does and places it all on the shoulders of one individual. Thank you for letting me help coach your sons. It is truly an honor to hopefully pass along some of these life training lessons to them.”
