As a legacy to Coach Chris Lewis and all he embodied, each year the Lewis Family will choose one boy and one girl to be recognized and have their name added to the plague at Chris Lewis Field and Walter T. Bergen Field.
The players honored with this award will have demonstrated the qualities so engrained in the character of Coach Chris Lewis. Through leadership, example, sportsmanship, respect, unselfishness, and dedication, they have demonstrated all that Coach Lewis demanded from himself and from us – on and off the field. To live a life of excellence, service, and be a positive influence in the world.
Who better to receive this award than the first two players Coach Lewis impacted. His fingerprints are on everything these two have learned and lived. Their willingness to be a better version of themselves every day. To share their home and family with others. To give the gifts of time, treasure, and talent. To volunteer for Red Bird Mission through their church, building homes and assisting families less fortunate in Kentucky. On their teams, they have been Captains. In their schools, they have been exemplary students. In their town, they have mentored the next generation of players.
Congratulations to the inaugural recipients of the Chris Lewis Memorial Award, Jayden and Kasey Lewis.
