VC's kicker nails the game-winner with 10 seconds left in the game

Most kickers dreams about kicking that game winning field. VC kicker Dane Richoux got to experience it Friday night on the road.
With 10 seconds left in the game, and the ball on the Ascension Episcopal 14 yard line, VC head coach Broc Prejean called on the kicking team to trot out there and win the game.
Richoux and holder Johnathan Dartez got in place and waited on the snap. It was an excellent snap from long snapper Andrew Prejean.
Richoux launched his right foot into the ball and it sailed past Ascension defender Brandon Mitchell (son of Abbeville High great Brandon Mitchell).
It cleared the uprights and the VC bench and crowd started celebrating. The field goal gave VC a 30-28 come from behind win.
VC improves to 2-0, while Ascension falls to 1-1.
“I was nervous a little bit. I was still pretty confident about making the kick even after missing the point after,” Richoux said about his game-winning kick. “I just kept my head clear and lined up the kick.”
One person who had a lot of faith in his leg was VC head coach Broc Prejean. When it was fourth down with 10 seconds left in the game, Prejean knew who to send out onto the field.
“He has been making kicks all week in practice,” said Prejean. “We made a big play to get the ball down field. I knew if we got him inside the 30 yard line, he was going to make a kick.”
The crazy thing about Richoux’s game winner was two minutes earlier Richoux missed an extra point that could have put VC ahead 28-20. Instead, the missed extra point gave Ascension life, down only 27-20.
Ascension marched 75 yards in two minutes, scored and successfully converted the two point play to go ahead, 28-27, with 2:19 remaining in the game.
But that is all VC quarterback Jonathan Dartez needed to lead the VC offense down field and win the game.
In a two-minute drill, Dartez moved the offense with his arm and legs. He had a huge 44-yard run on the second play of the drive. He completed two passes. A three-yard pass to Ross Dartez and a 13-yard pass to Ethan Landry. The 13-yard catch moved VC to the Ascension 20. On first down, Dartez ran six yards, down to the 14-yard line with only 10 seconds left in the game.
Dartez is the holder. Before the kick, he did not tell his kicker anything.
“No,” Dartez said. “I don’t bother him or say anything to him when he’s lined up to kick a field goal. Especially in this situation.”
His plan worked.
