GUEYDAN — Gueydan sophomore quarterback Cohen Guidry got the job last year as a freshman quite by a stroke of good fortune, according to GHS coach Lance Myers.
“It was a fluke thing,” Myers said. “We were at practice, and our quarterback was ill that day, and we needed somebody who could throw the ball to our receivers.
“We noticed him throwing the ball in practice, and he could throw the deep ball better than our starting quarterback, so we started working with him.”
It goes on from there.

Being the trigger man in the veer offense isn’t easy.
You have to be able to read the defense, decide to hand off or keep the ball and know what to do to keep the chains moving on a drive.
It takes football intelligence as well as a physical ability to handle the position.
Abbeville High’s Jaysen Shelvin is that guy for head coach Roderick Moy.
