VC seniors have not lost district game in their four years

It’s a rare achievement for seniors not to lose a district game during high school. Still, this year’s Vermilion Catholic High School seniors can proudly say that they were part of four perfect district seasons, having gone 22-0 in the district.
The eight seniors who accomplished this impressive feat are Ethan Landry, Dane Richoux, Andrew Prejean, Roy Bertrand IV, Phillip Summers, Tyjh Williams, Ty Williams and Connor Golden.
They secured their perfect district record by crushing Hanson 43-14 in their final regular-season game at home.
This is the second consecutive year that Vermilion Catholic High School has finished the regular season with a 10-0 record.
Ethan Landry and Andrew Prejean are two of Vermilion Catholic High School’s eight seniors, and for them, staying undefeated in the district was a significant achievement.
Landry, a wide receiver and defensive back, acknowledged the pressure to maintain their perfect record in the district, saying, “We all wanted to do it. We had to get the job done.”
VC has maintained an undefeated record of 27-0 in the district, dating back to the 2019 season.
It’s a remarkable achievement for the Eagles, who have not lost a district game in five seasons.
Andrew Prejean, a tight end and defensive end for the Eagles, commented that continuing the streak of winning district games is crucial because that is what the team expects. He added that it is amazing to keep the streak going, and the team behind them needs to maintain the winning trend.
Prejean mentioned that the team did not discuss the idea of keeping the district alive before heading into the district.
He said, “We don’t look ahead. We play one game at a time.”
The last time VC lost a district game was in 2018 against Louisiana Christian Academy (LCA).
VC head coach Broc Prejean has been with the team for four years and has not lost a district game, just like the seniors.
He said, “We have not lost a district game. I just put on the headset. Good players and coaches surround me. It is an unbelievable effort by this group of kids. I am not sure if there were many expectations at the start of the season with this group. I know they had high expectations. I am proud of this team and what they accomplished this season.”
The Eagles used more aerial passes in this game than in any other this year.
Jonathan Dartez, the quarterback for VC, had an impressive performance in the game.
He completed 12 out of 23 passes for a total of 196 yards.
In addition to this, he rushed for 132 yards on 18 carries and scored three touchdowns.
The game was won by the Eagles in the final eight minutes of the second quarter, during which they outscored Hanson 29-0.
At the 8:01 mark in the second quarter, the score was tied at 7-7, but VC took the lead when Dartez had a 38-yard touchdown run, making the score 14-7.
With 4:23 left to play in the second quarter, Dartez scored another touchdown by darting three yards up the middle, making the score 22-7.
VC’s third touchdown came in just 16 seconds, thanks to a 21-yard pass from Jonathan Dartez to Ross Dartez. Ross finished the game with three catches for 75 yards. The Dartez to Dartez connection happened again, this time for a 49-yard touchdown play, making the score 28-7 in favor of VC.
VC kicker Dane Richoux nailed his third extra point and put the Eagles up 29-7.
VC’s fourth touchdown of the second quarter was a 25-yard pass to Hudson Hebert for a 36-7 lead heading into the half.
Hebert had five receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown on the night.
Dartez’s final touchdown pass was a corner route to Jyrin Bessard for a seven-yard TD reception. Bessard had three catches 57 yards in the game.
With VC tailback Tyjh Williams sitting this game out due to an injury, Luke McLain and, Joe Langlinais, Caleb Guidry stepped in to carry the load.
McLain had 14 carries for 64 yards. Langlinais had two totes for seven yards, and Guidry had four carries for 19 yards.
