GLOUSTER – For the last three years, the name of Jonathan Honea has been synonymous with Pine Hills Academy football.

A quarterback for most of his career, the 6-foot-5, 235-pound senior moved last week to fullback to help the Wildcats upset division rival Huntington 29-26.

That position change made no one happier than Pine Hills tailback Chris Guidry.

&uot;I love running behind Jonathan &160;Honea,&uot; said Guidry, who racked up 229 yards on 18 carries. &uot;With Jonathan running around that end, you just try to keep up. You don’t have to be a good running back to run behind him.&uot;

Guidry, however, is a good running back, averaging 6.6 yards a carry this season with 865 yards on 131 attempts. He has also hauled in 18 passes for 201 yards receiving.

Having a good statistical year has helped make up for a disappointing team record of 2-7, Guidry said.

&uot;It helps to me, inside,&uot; he said. &uot;I know that I’ve been doing all I can. If we can’t win when all of us are playing the best we can, then it just wasn’t meant to be.

&uot;I’m happy with myself,&uot; he added. &uot;I’m not happy with our record, but I’m happy with myself.&uot;

Guidry is also complacent with the relative little attention he has received in comparison to Honea, even though Guidry has had a much better year statistically.

&uot;I just look at him and I look at myself, and I ask who’ll be the one to go the distance. It would be him every day,&uot; Guidry said. &uot;If we all played like him, we’d all be all-stars. He’s a perfect example.&uot;

Guidry was the perfect example of a team player last week, though concerned parents might disagree. Guidry started the game and played until the final whistle despite being sick with the flu and running a high temperature before the game.

&uot;I had to lay down on the bus on the way there with a jacket over me, and I was freezing to death,&uot; he said. &uot;It was rough.&uot;

Guidry’s fierce desire to play football (which he’s done since seventh grade – &uot;ever since they let us put pads on,&uot;) is nothing compared to his love of baseball.

&uot;I’ve played since I was 4, year after year,&uot; he said. &uot;If I miss a year, something’s wrong.&uot;

And with his senior nearing its end, his thoughts are naturally drifting toward college sports.

&uot;If there are people interested in me, I would do whatever it takes&uot; to play college ball, he said. &uot;If anybody would take me, I’d be there.&uot;

He hasn’t yet narrowed down his college possibilities, he said.

Although a part of him would like to stay near his Woodville home, &uot;I might head farther north, somewhere cooler,&uot; he said. &uot;I hate to use the word ‘pretty,’ but I’d like to walk outside and see some mountains, and wonder what’s out there today.&uot;
