It was posted to Murray Independent Schools, social media earlier today that Coach Curtis, is officially back as the head coach.

From Murray Independent School District on Facebook:

Murray Independent School District is pleased to announce the appointment of Dior Curtis as the new Murray High School Boys’ Basketball Coach.

Curtis returns to the Tigers after serving as head coach of the Christian County High School Colonels boys’ basketball program since 2024. During his tenure at Christian County, he successfully guided the program through a rebuilding phase following the graduation of the team's top five scorers, helping develop a competitive roster and laying a strong foundation for future success.

Curtis began his coaching career at Murray High School in 2010 as an assistant coach and was named head coach in 2017. During his seven seasons leading the Tigers, he compiled an outstanding 142-72 record and established one of the most successful eras in recent program history.

Among his accomplishments at Murray High School are:

• 2022 First Region Championship
• Sweet 16 Appearance (2022)
• Three Fourth District Championships
• Five Kentucky All "A" Classic Region 1 Championships
• First Region Coach of the Year Honor

"I’m honored and humbled to accept the position of Head Boys Basketball Coach at Murray High School," said Curtis. "Murray has a proud tradition of excellence both on and off the court, and I’m excited for the opportunity to continue building on that legacy. A huge thank you to Dr. Meinschein, Mr. Jarvis, and Ms. Greenfield for giving me the opportunity to lead this program. It feels good to be home, and I look forward to getting started. Go Tigers!"

In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Curtis was recently named Murray High School Athletic Director, where he will work alongside District Athletic Director Ann Greenfield to support student-athletes and strengthen athletic programs across the district. He will also serve as an Alternative Education Teacher at Murray High School, providing academic and behavioral support to students.

With Dior coming back they won't drop off any. They will also be back in the class A tournament if I'm not mistaken.  Their enrollment dropped them from 2A to 1A.
