The ten-game regular season goes way too fast.

That doesn't much time to adapt, but Northern Lehigh's Tekoah Guedes has done so.The junior quarterback was born in Palmerton, grew up in Colorado, and found himself back home in Pennsylvania during the middle of the 2015 season.Though preparation and hard work, he has progressed and is excelling in the Bulldog offense.Guedes was a critical part of Northern Lehigh's 21-14 victory over Northwestern last week. He compiled 119 passing yards, 82 rushing yards, and one score en route to earning the Times News Player of the Week award."Our seniors hadn't won against Northwestern," said the NL quarterback. "We couldn't let them out like that. Getting this win will keep us going now; we've got some consistency. We've played well the last three games and hopefully we'll keep rolling."Guedes has attended numerous camps and drills over the summer and it shows based on his work on the field."I've slowed the game down a lot," he said. "I've worked hard over the summer. I've gone to some college camps and played in 7-on-7 competitions. I'm starting to get accurate in the short-game now with check downs, and I feel like that's where I've improved."Guedes has the ability to be a traditional pocket passer with his rocket-arm. But, he also has the natural ability to break defenses down on the ground."We're comfortable third down, fourth down, on Friday night to throw the ball and make good decisions," said Northern Lehigh head coach Joe Tout. "We trust him. We don't have the speed on our team right now, but he's getting used to this offense, as he came from a different offense."Guedes had to learn a new system when he came home. As early as Week 1, the Bulldogs had to change their offensive approach."With Tekoah coming into the program you're trying to find the chemistry," explained Tout. "We had two good receivers and one tore his ACL in the first game. We had a lot of twins routes set up, but that (injury) really threw a wrench in there. But we've had some guys mature and come along. We've figured out as a staff what his and our strengths our as an offense. He's a good runner."But the first-year Bulldog quarterback has that one intangible you can't teach, which has surely helped him and his team be successful this year."He's a sharp kid, and we have a bunch of them," said the NL coach. "We always say it, smart players are good football players. Guys that have the football IQ and have the overall IQ, you can throw more at them and things don't surprise them. He's definitely an intelligent kid."Football runs in Guedes's blood, and he knew he'd be suiting up on Friday nights for a very long time."My dad and my grandfather have both been big influences in my life. I've been on the sideline since I was little, they both were coaches. I have a lot of history with this program. It's cool that I have the opportunity to be a Bulldog"
