Great things come in small packages. Just ask anybody who faced South East High School’s Robert Lewis.

At 5-foot-10, 155 pounds, the senior running back/defensive back/kick returner didn’t scare opponents with his size. His speed and quickness were another matter.

The future SMU Pony led a school that opened in 2005 to the first City Section championship (Division II) in any sport by piling up some amazing numbers.

The Wave Newspapers East Region Player of the Year carried 203 times for 2,023 yards and 30 TDs, caught 20 passes for 338 yards and four TDs, returned kicks for 742 yards and scored 36 total TDs for 216 points. On defense he had 59 tackles and five interceptions.

In addition, he was the City Division II and Eastern League player of the year.

His coach, Derwin Henderson, is the Wave Coach of the Year.
