ABU Elite Camp Profile: Mason McMurray of Stow-Munroe HS (OH)


Battler Beat will today profile 6'7" rising senior Mason McMurray of Stow-Munroe High School in Stow, OH. The versatile forward prospect has the ability at the next level to play both the small and power forward positions. McMurray averaged 15.5 points per game this past season for Stow-Munroe. He has the ability to shoot the ball from the outside or slash-and-cut to the basket where his size and athleticism provide for great scoring opportunities around the basket. Mason also displays the ability to take his defender off the dribble to the basket. For his efforts in leading his high school team to an 18-6 record, McMurray was named to the AP 2017 Northeast Inland District's Division I Third Team.

We noted McMurray for his skills and play at the ABU Elite Camp. During the shooting portion of the camp, we noted the following: "Mason McMurray has excellent rotation on his outside jumper." Battler Beat would have this to say about Mason during the team competition: "McMurray sets a nice pick for Baumgardner and rolls." It was during the elite camp that McMurray was matched up against some of the better players that the camp had to offer. He performed very well during all portions of the camp. According to NEOhioSpotlight.com, Mason has already received scholarship offers to play basketball at High Point, Notre Dame College and Fairmont State.

Battler Beat spoke to McMurray near the conclusion of the ABU Elite Camp. We asked him about his experience at the camp and he said the following: "I really liked the drills. It was more than just running up and down the court. You were able to show your game in other ways than just five-on-five. They expected you to implement the skills taught in drills and to show you can put those skills in your afternoon games." Mason was also given a campus tour of Alderson Broaddus and stated this: "I really liked the campus. I like how every thing is close and makes it convenient." We asked McMurray what position he thought he would play at the next level. He stated the following: "I feel most comfortable at the four position. As a senior though, I just want to improve my overall game as a ball player." We have linked Mason's Hudl videos below:
