Four years ago Colby Lewis could be found on the sidelines of Halton Arena at every men’s basketball game. He can still be found on the Charlotte bench today, just in different attire.
Lewis started his time with the 49ers in 2009 when he came in as a freshman guard. During his time as a player in the Queen City, he was a two-time recipient of the Charles Hayward award – an honor given to the athlete that best demonstrates leadership, work ethic and teamwork.
In his senior season with the Niners, Lewis and his teammates won 21 games, won the Great Alaska Shootout title and made the 49ers latest appearance in the NIT.
