Vuda, from the district’s 18-22 program, and Murray, a Hopkinton High School senior, are four-year players who served as captains this fall. According to coach Jay Golden, they “embody everything it is to be both a Hiller and a unified athlete. They are consistently kind, considerate and of the highest character and integrity imaginable. They both have also embraced their leadership roles on the team, leading exercises and practices and motivating and encouraging their teammates both on and off the court.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
