Justin Lewis
Senior
Football
Mariner Tritons
The stand-out senior broke a school record dating back to 1989 when he threw for five touchdowns in a 46-7 win over Bonita Springs. Lewis, who went 10-of-14 for 166 yards, also returned a punt 62 yards for a score.
“We prepare as best as possible and it all worked out perfect. The record-breaking touchdown passes — all credit goes to my receivers. I just get the ball out to them, and they do the rest.”
