Would that be Becky McMurtry's brother? Did he play baseball here? Becky is from Nebraska and was a two time All American here in softball. If I am not mistaken, she had a brother here also.

Yes.

That is Danny McMurtry, Becky's brother.

  New football coach Craig Beverlin won't be the only new head coach on the boys' side at Vermilion Catholic during the 2009-10 school year.

Danny McMurtry has been hired as the new head baseball coach, replacing the outgoing Brad Topham after nine years at the school.

While McMurtry may not have the decades of experience that Beverlin sports, he does bring a pretty intriguing, traveled past to Vermilion Catholic as well.

After playing for the UL Ragin' Cajun program in 2002-03, he worked as a graduate assistant under Tony Robichaux for a year. After leaving Lafayette, he coached at Siena in New York, then Monmouth in New Jersey, followed by a stint at Okaloosa-Walton in Florida, before most recently working at Mercer for two years.
