LANCASTER, Pa. – For the third time in his career, Gary Lewis has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week. His latest honor comes after a career-high 221 yards receiving and four touchdowns during the Diplomats' 42-7 win against Catholic this past weekend.
Lewis' 221 yards receiving were the fourth-highest single-game total in program history and 18th-highest in CC history, while his four touchdown receptions were just one short of tying his own school and conference record which he set against Muhlenberg during the 2023 season. The senior wideout is the eighth pass catcher in CC history to record exactly four touchdowns in a game. Lewis caught eight total passes with touchdown receptions of 43, 44, and 67 yards as he averaged over 27 yards per reception against the Cardinals.
With his latest performance, Lewis moved into third place in the F&M record books with 28 career touchdown receptions. His 2,173 career receiving yards on 140 career receptions rank sixth and 10th in school history, respectively. Lewis was a first-team All-Centennial Conference receiver in 2023 and earned second-team All-CC honors during the 2024 season.
After starting 2-1 in non-conference action, football has a bye week upcoming before jumping into Centennial Conference play at Gettysburg on Saturday, October 4. Kickoff against the Bullets is scheduled for 1 p.m.
