“Gavin Guidry was one of the toughest players we’ve faced the past two years and we play in a very competitive district with a large number of great players. He is hard-nosed and very talented. We had a lot of difficulty pitching to him because he can beat you in several different ways as a hitter and as a pitcher. He is one of the top arms in the state of Louisiana and helped Barbe win several big games throughout the year with his impressive arsenal.”
