Seven Vermilion Catholic High baseball players were honored Monday night.
Vermilion Catholic joined other school districts across the state and nation by participating in the “Be the Light” campaign on Monday.
The lights at Sellers Field in Abbeville were turned on at 8 o’clock p.m. to honor the current VC baseball seniors, who had their season ruined due to the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Northwestern State pole vaulter Annmarie Broussard, who is a sophomore, finished her sophomore indoor track and field season with an impressive second-place finish in the Southland Conference Indoor Meet.
Broussard, an Abbeville High graduate, took home second place with a vault of 13.25 feet high. First place went to Bizzell Kaylee of Stephen F. Austin. Her winning jump was 13-4 or two inches more than Broussard.
After Kaylee cleared 13-4 to take the lead, Broussard wanted to be pushed and skipped on the height of 13-4 and raised the bar to 13-8.

The Vermilion Catholic Eagles jumped out to a 5-1 lead after two innings and held on to win 5-4 against Assumption
Assumption would score one run in the third, fourth, and seventh inning to make the game close.
VC only had five hits and committed three errors.
Mikie Bazar had two hits for VC. He hit a double and a triple, plus, he knocked in one run.
The Eagles needed four pitchers to shut down Assumption.
Pitcher Moe Maxile started the game and went four innings. He gave up seven hits and two earned runs for VC.
