Baseball

As a Lion

Following a stellar career as a three-sport athlete at Chester County High School, Clay Murley joined the Lion baseball team in 1993. He immediately became a starter at second base before moving to shortstop for his final three years.

As a freshman, he batted .346 with 28 RBIs and had 15 stolen bases. His numbers only improved. As a junior, he batted .451 with 53 RBIs and 26 stolen bases.

In 1996, he was named to the All-Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference Team, the All-Mid-South Region Team and the NAIA All-American team. In 1997, he was again an all-conference selection as he led the Lions to their first-ever regular-season championship of the TranSouth Athletic Conference.

Amazingly durable, Murley is still tied for most games played in a single season with 54. His stats continue to rank him in the top five of six single-season offensive categories and in the top five of seven career offensive categories.

After Graduation

Murley has returned to the Chester County school system, where he teaches and coaches.
