Mickey Guidry, Football (9 Aug 1967 - )

Born in Gretna, LA in 1967, Mickey Guidry quarterbacked his Archbishop Shaw High School (Marrero, LA) football team. After a very successful high school athletic career, Mickey chose to attend Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA on a football scholarship.

At LSU from 1984 - 1988 he backed up Tommy Hodson at quarterback - providing the Tigers with a dynamic 1-2 punch behind the center during five outstanding LSU seasons. A four-year letter winner at LSU, Mickey played in two Sugar Bowls (1984, 1986), the Liberty Bowl (1985) and the Gator Bowl (1987). A shoulder injury in his final collegiate game - the 1989 Hall of Fame Bowl - delayed his opportunity to play professional football.

During his senior year at LSU, Mickey received the Butch Duhe Award for team leadership - quite an honor for a backup quarterback and a testament to Mickey's positive attitude and strong leadership both on the field and at the sidelines.

In 1991 Mickey Guidry finally got the opportunity to play professional football with the New Orleans Night of the Arena Football League. Mickey quarterbacked the Night during the 1991 and 1992 seasons. In 1993 he moved to the Orlando Predators for a brief time and then to Dallas where he ended his professional career at the end of the 1993 season.

After his professional career, Mickey successfully transitioned from well-known quarterback to a businessman. Today he resides in Baton Rouge, LA where he is the Registered Principal in a growing financial services company.
