Holy Cross may have the most state championships, state champions, runners-up
and a myriad of other records since 1945, but Fontainebleau senior Aiden Lindsey
was having none of that. Well, not if they were 10th-graders, at least.
He faced and beat three Tiger sophomore's this season. In what many viewed
as an upset, Lindsey spoiled Nick DiGeralamo's debut at the Spartan invitational
with a 6-4 finals win. He then beat another Tiger sophomore, Sean
McDonald, in the quarterfinals of the Zachary Big Horse. In the State
finals he held fifth-seeded Gunner Guidry to an escape point in a 7-1 match.
He was the first, well, Bulldog senior to win a state title in eight years.
The start of the senior's season was not bad, but not great, as he suffered
three losses. After his Spartan Invitational win he won the Zachary Big
Horse and the Jacob McMillan. He was third at the Public School
Championships, fourth at the Battle of New Orleans and fifth at the Louisiana
Classic. His last loss was in the consolation semifinals of the LACL, and
he won the Titan Invitational and the St. Tammany Parish Championships after
that. For those events, as for the state championships, he dropped to 152
lbs.
Holy Cross sophomore Gunner Guidry won his first event, the Tiger Open, which
included a 4-2 SV semifinals win over Division II state champion Hudson Sharon.
The he lost a couple of finals matches to Dutchtown's Foster Shank, but came
back with a runner-up finish at the Border Wars. A fourth-place finish at
the Louisiana Classic netted him a #5 seed at the state tournament. But if
anyone remembers the 2021-22 season, Gunner Guidry rarely does what he is
expected to do. He knocked off #4 Anthony Hernandez of Covington (avenging
a LACL loss) and the #1 Jensen Bergeron of Lafayette 6-4, (avenging another LACL
loss) to make the finals.
