He was selected as Indiana co-Mr. Basketball with Delray Brooks in 1984. Mr. Lewis played for Anderson High School in the North Central Conference before enrolling at Purdue.

He led the Indians to the 1983 IHSAA State Finals, where they lost in an epic battle to Connersville High School; as of 2014, he remains the leading scorer in State Finals history, scoring 76 points in a single State Semi-Finals and Finals, ahead of such legendary players as Scott Skiles (69), George McGinnis (62), Oscar Robertson (51), Glenn Robinson (45) and John Wooden (27).[3]
