Gueydan ready for South Lab

No. 9 seed Gueydan Honeybears are moving on the second round of the Class A playoffs after holding off the Grambling Lady Tigers, 53-47, in overtime.
Next up for the Honeybears is a trip to Baton Rouge to battle the No. 8 Southern Lab Kittens. The Kittens nipped No. 25 seed Central Catholic, 29-18, in the first round. It was only 11-8 at halftime.
