Former Ankeny Centennial basketball standout Cleao Murray was named the Heart of America Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after leading the Grand View women’s team to a pair of victories.
Murray, a junior guard, scored 31 points on 13-of-18 shooting in an 83-64 win over visiting Graceland on Wednesday. She then had 18 points on Saturday in the Vikings’ 76-64 triumph at Baker (Kan.).
Murray has helped Grand View to a 9-3 record heading into the holiday break. She missed the first six games of the season while recovering from offseason surgery.
“I had surgery in July to repair my meniscus in my previously injured knee,” said Murray, who is averaging 20.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. “I’m fully recovered and back to feeling like myself! I’m super glad to be back playing with my teammates!”
