The website Coach Lewis was constructed to honor the work and memory of former Oakcrest, N.J., boys' basketball coach Dave Lewis, who died last summer of multiple myeloma, the blood cancer that attacks the bones, kidneys and immune system.
Lewis, who was 58, was honored recently prior to Oakcrest's 46-44 overtime win against Middle Township in Mays Landing. Among those who spoke at the ceremony was the coach who took over for Lewis, Frank Brown.
As part of the effort to honor Coach Lewis, his daughter, Rachel Chornomaz, has placed the MaxPreps.com Data Widget on the memorial’s home page:

Please visit the site to learn more about Dave Lewis both on and off the court. Among other things, his church is involved in the construction of an orphanage in Uganda which will bear his name.
"(Lewis) was a real gentleman and an inspiration to all of us," Middle Township coach Tom Feraco told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We watched him suffer, and he would never complain."
