DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- DME Academy and Halifax Health are set to retire the Murray brother's numbers on Thursday as the first inductees into DME Academy's Hall of Fame.
It seems like everyone is talking about the Murray brothers as of late. It’s no wonder since Keegan was selected fourth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft to the Sacramento Kings after playing two seasons for the University of Iowa. Twin brothers Kris and Keegan spent their PG year at DME, and they have been on an upward trajectory ever since.
The duo dominated the 2019-20 season at DME, and that set the stage for the Murray’s to elevate their game in the Big Ten with Iowa. Now in 2022, Keegan will embark on an NBA career while Kris will enter his third season for the Hawkeyes.
Kris and Keegan will make a celebrity appearance in Daytona Beach where DME Academy, will retire the two brother's jerseys. It will be an all-day event held on Thursday, July 28th, celebrating the twin's accomplishments both at DME and beyond.
The ceremony will be hosted in partnership with Halifax Health, which remains committed to local sports and has fostered a comprehensive sports medicine program at DME Academy, and will feature the entire Murray family and a special Q&A so they can share plenty of advice for upcoming basketball student-athletes.
“Honoring these two young men was an easy decision for our leadership team. Character, drive and dedication are all characteristics we demand of current and future DME student-athletes, and the Murray brothers are a perfect example of that.. Honoring them both as the first members of the DME Hall of Fame made perfect sense.” Says Dan Panaggio, owner of DME Academy.
Whether the goal is playing professionally, earning a college scholarship or testing the waters internationally, DME is on a mission to support the lives of all of our student-athletes.
