900 Wins! Vermilion Catholic's Guidry ranks among the top winningest girls basketball coach in state

Mon, 01/16/2023 - 11:25am

Vermilion Catholic’s basketball coach Kim “Gidge” Guidry, continues to climb the ladder of success. On Tuesday, the Lady Eagles beat Covenant Chrisitan 36-27 on the road. That victory gave Guidry her 900th win at VC.
In 2017 she won her 800th game, and in 2015 she won her 751st game.
Guidry, 64, said it is not about her because she did not play one game.
“It is all about the girls who come through the program,” she said. “I have been fortunate to have coachable girls.”
Guidry will coach for at least three more years, which could give her another 35 to 50 wins.
