After 2 years on high-school circuit, Girouard, Guidry are on their way to state tournament
Two junior-varsity basketball teammates from Teurlings Catholic High School, both starters, are reeling in points in another sport that’s on the rise in the Sportsman’s Paradise.
They already have qualified for this year’s Louisiana High School B.A.S.S. Nation State Championship and have two more years to make more of an impact in a male-dominated sport. Yes, two TCHS Fishing Team members are 16-year-old girls, Sadie Guidry of Scott and Lily Girouard of Broussard.
The team — “captained” by Lily’s father, Jeremy Girouard — is hooked on tournament fishing. The G&G duo puts bass on the digital scale more often than not.
“We’ve done pretty good,” Girouard said, matter-of-factly.
Their highest finish was seventh on Nov. 7 at a Western Division qualifying tournament at Toledo Bend. Sophomores, the two caught about 30 bass and culled to a 5-bass limit weighing 10.29 pounds, punching their ticket to the state championship on May 8-9 out of Doiron’s Landing in Stephensville.
