It seems like an eternity ago since Dwight Lewis first dawned the Cardinal and Gold uniform with "USC" written across his chest, and now in tomorrow's contest against California, the senior forward from Louisiana, will become USC's all-time leader in games played in Trojan Basketball history.
Since finishing his high school playing career in Texas, after Hurricane Katrina, Lewis has become a staple of the Trojan program. He currently ranks 10th in career 3-pointers made and is quickly climbing into the top ten of USC's all-time scoring column. However, for Lewis, it is not about the scoring figures, its about getting better everyday and trying to advance to the next level, while helping the younger players along the way.
In tomorrow night's contest, Lewis will pass the now, FSN color commentator, Brandon Granville, as the player to play the most games in a Trojan uniform. Granville had an illustrious career at USC, as a rare four-year starter at the point-guard position. The former Westchester High standout, holds the USC record for career assists and ranks in the top five all-time in steals, assists, and 3-pointers.
The Trojans are currently sitting at 4-5 entering tomorrow night's game against California tied with five other teams in the Pac-10. Look for Lewis to lead the way and stay tuned for updates from today's practice.
