Savion Lewis Named NYS Mr. Basketball

Hills East’s Savion Lewis was named New York’s Mr. Basketball for his outstanding play during the 2018 season.

Lewis, who is the all-time leading scorer in school history, led his team to a Long Island and Suffolk County title this year. Hills lost in the state finals this past weekend.

In the photo above, Lewis received his honor from BCANY President Todd Rose, NYS boys basketball coordinator Bob Mayo, and NYS basketball tournament director Ben Nelson.

Lewis will attend Division I Quinnipiac and is the first Suffolk County name to win the honor since Tobias Harris in 2010. Harris played at Hills West and is currently on the LA Clippers in the NBA.

On the same day that Lewis was honored, Hills East’s Shane Dean received the NYSPHSAA basketball sportsmanship award.
