VC's Jonathan Dartez now holds the Louisiana High School record for total touchdowns with 173

Vermilion Catholic High School might want to think about retiring jersey number 1 on the football team. They could even go a step further and name the football stadium after Jonathan “Jon Jon” Dartez, considering the incredible career he’s had over the past four years.
On Friday, Dartez walked out of Eagle Stadium for the last time. The Eagles crushed the Kentwood Kangaroos 33-0 in the semifinals.
Next up for the No. 1 Eagles is No. 3 Ouachita Christian in the Division IV Select State finals.
The game is at noon in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. 
In a school with a rich football legacy, Dartez has elevated that legacy to greatness.
After Friday’s game, when the players gathered to hear VC head coach Broc Prejean speak, Prejean made an announcement that stunned Eagle Nation.
When Dartez scored his fifth and final touchdown, it was a state record-breaking touchdown.
Coach Prejean told Eagle Nation that Dartez now holds the Louisiana High School record for total touchdowns with 173.
He broke former Lafayette Christian Academy quarterback Ju’Juan Johnson, who set the 171 TD mark last year.   
When Coach Prejean announced the accomplishment, Dartez first became aware of it. He put his head down as tears of joy flowed.
“When Coach Broc said that about the record, it all brought back memories of when I started playing as a freshman,” said Dartez. “I also realized I played my last game here on this field. It will be hard remembering all of the fun times — the memories.
“I am blessed and grateful to have ended it as the touchdown leader. It is an awesome way to go out.”
Dartez can pad the touchdown record with one final high school game left to play - the state finals. It will be the second state finals he has played in his four years.
He has scored touchdowns four different ways. He has rushed for most of them, but he has also caught a few as a receiver and scored touchdowns on punt and kick returns.
Winning a state title would be the icing for Dartez’s high school career. But despite everything he has accomplished on the football field, one thing still bothers him, and he can not shake it.
Dartez has yet to receive a scholarship offer to play football at any level. Earlier this week was Signing Day for high school athletes—except Dartez.
“I am going to go where the Lord wants me to,” said Dartez. “If no school wants to give me a scholarship, that is their fault.”
He said by not receiving any scholarship offers, has motivated him to play harder.
“If I had gotten an offer earlier, I do not think I would be in the current position,” said Dartez. “I do not think we would be going to the championship.  It has been a big motivation for me all year.”
Eagle Nation would like Dartez to stay motivated for one final game.
