McMurry Scholar-Athlete Leadership Academy Reaches New Heights
Just over a year ago, McMurry University Director of Athletics Sam Ferguson launched a program he had long envisioned, targeting young scholar-athletes and designed to accelerate and enhance their leadership potential. With that, Ferguson instituted McMurry's Scholar-Athlete Leadership Academy (SALA) for the War Hawks' intercollegiate athletics department. The premise of the SALA is simple: identify freshmen or sophomore scholar-athletes who have those skills commonly identified in team leaders and help provide them a foundation before they are thrust into leadership roles on their respective teams. The SALA helps them become even stronger by the time they are upperclassmen via lectures and real-world experiences. Some of the key areas that the SALA focuses on are conflict resolution, valuing differences, leadership and character, and the power of positivity. The program's launch in 2016-17 consisted of participants selected by coaches and events consisting of speakers who came to campus. But it laid the groundwork for the future. Now, in just its second year, the SALA has ballooned to 30 of McM's best and brightest scholar-athletes. Each SALA member had to apply for acceptance into the program and will have the chance to be involved in several exciting opportunities to learn and grow in 2017-18.

McMurry's QB Hurley Earns ASC Weekly Football Honor
Just one day after leading the McMurry University football team to a come-from-behind Homecoming victory, McMurry University quarterback Kevin Hurley Jr. (Diboll, Texas/Diboll H.S.) has been named as the American Southwest Conference Offensive Player of the Week, it was announced by the league office. It was quite a performance for Hurley, in spearheading the second-half assault on Belhaven University. After missing last week's game versus Texas Lutheran - and also not starting against the Blazers - after suffering an injury two weeks ago at Sul Ross State, Hurley was called on to start the second half with McMurry trailing BU, 23-7. In just the two quarters on Saturday, Hurley completed 11-of-14 passes for 245 yards. Hurley threw four touchdown passes of 63, 10, 22 and 51 yards, as the War Hawks scored the 42-30 win. He did not throw an interception, nor was he sacked. Hurley also ran the ball 10 times for 36 net yards on the ground.
