A new head football coach is bringing in a different type of offense to Gueydan High School.
Goodbye Wing-T offense and, say, hello, to the new pro-style offense.
North Vermilion offensive coordinator Roderick Moy was hired as the new head football coach at Gueydan High School.
“We are going to be more balanced,” said Moy. “We are going to run and throw the football.”
Moy has been teaching and coaching in the parish for 12 years. He has been a head basketball coach, girls power lifting coach, assistant baseball coach and an offensive coordinator at NV.

Vermilion Catholic senior Taylor Abshire helped lead the Lady Eagles to the Division IV State Finals, along with the outright district title.
The coaches recently voted Abshire the MVP in District 7-A.
VC coach Kim Guidry said,”Taylor is a hard worker, compassionate and an outstanding young lady. She will leave large shoes to fill.”
Coach of the Year in district went to VC’s Jesse Faulk.
VC had four players land on the girls’ all-district first team, counting Abshire.

Alex Detraz of Abbeville recently committed to play baseball for Centenary College in Shreveport. Detraz has attended St. Thomas More for the last four years. For the last two years he played first base and lettered for three years. In the photo with Alex are his parents, Lisa and Dirk. Detraz is now the third baseball player from Vermilion Parish to sign with Centenary this year. Joining him on the team are VC’s Harrison and Griffin Vicknair.
