Gueydan survives in hot, marathon of a game
GUEYDAN - The Gueydan Bears somehow survived a long, hot season-opener Saturday afternoon.
It may have been the first-ever Vermilion Parish high school football game to start at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Three hours, and with the temperature around 91 degrees, the Bears beat North Central Hurricanes 50-44.
One third of the Bears were cramping all second half.
Gueydan had jumped out to a quick 30-0 lead in the first half but then by the time the half was over, Gueydan looked warn out but was still leading 36-14.
