In the victory over Coffeyville Community College\u00a0on February 8, 2025, Lewis logged a double-digit performance in 29 minutes on the floor, shooting 5-for-7 from the floor, that included two triples. His defense was on full display with a pair of steals, and a pair of rebounds in the commanding victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025-26, Lewis stormed onto the scene with 29 starts in 31 appearances, while averaging\u00a0nearly nine more\u00a0minutes on the floor\u00a0than the season before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the charity stripe, Lewis improved mightily converting 109 of 135 total attempts for an 80.7 percent edge. Exactly 10.3 higher than his\u00a0freshman\u00a0year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the victory over Dodge City Community College on February 21, Lewis posted a near perfect game in 35 minutes on the floor, with a 9-for-11 clip from the floor, shooting 7-of-8 from distance, converting all eight free-throws attempted, assisted on four baskets, and added one block in a\u00a033-point\u00a0performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At Hugoton High School, Lewis competed on the Varsity Football, Basketball, and Track & Field teams. For basketball, he logged 14.2 points-per-game, while\u00a0assisting on\u00a02.7 baskets, grabbed\u00a0nearly four\u00a0rebounds per-game, and\u00a0nearly three\u00a0steals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In 2023, Lewis was a State Champion, while being named to the Class 4A All-State First Team in 2024. He was also\u00a0donned\u00a04A-6A Kansas Defensive Player of the Year. In the classroom, he was a member of the National Honor Society.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“He had a big-time\u00a0sophomore season\u00a0at\u00a0Garden City, and now\u00a0he’s\u00a0home.\u00a0I’m\u00a0thrilled\u00a0he’s\u00a0a Jasper.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
