‘Meant to be together’: How two WSU women’s basketball players coincidentally became teammates three separate times

Junior Jayla Murray yells for someone to get open on offense against Northeastern State. Murray was joined by fellow Tampa Bay Tech alumna Jasmine Peaks on the WSU roster this year.

In 10th grade, Jayla Murray was playing basketball for Tampa Bay Tech High School when Jasmine Peaks joined the team.

The duo went on to win the Florida State Championship together before deciding to transfer to another high school for their senior year. Coincidentally, they ended up at the same school, making them teammates once more.

Four years later, the cycle has repeated itself at Wichita State as the juniors continue finding themselves on the same roster.
