The Award is in honor of College Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Guy V. Lewis, who led the University of Houston program from 1956-1986. It is awarded to the Houston area’s best high school basketball as voted by fans.
As an alumnus of the University of Houston, Guy V. Lewis led the Cougars to five Final Fours, won nearly 600 games, and was a pioneer for the game. One of Lewis’ finest ideas, the 1968 “Game of the Century”, pitted his Houston Cougars, with All American Elvin Hayes, against the powerhouse from UCLA, with Lew Alcindor, in the Astrodome in front of a national television audience and a regular season attendance record of more than 52,000 fans. That attendance number still stands as the fourth largest regular season NCAA game, some 43 years after it was played.
