Vermilion Catholic High School has concluded its search for a new head football coach.
On Wednesday afternoon, Broc Prejean informed the VC community by email that he will remain at the school and return as head football coach next school year. Prejean announced he was not returning to VC two weeks ago.
“I recognized I would be missing a lot more than just football with the relationships that have come into our lives through VC. I am just appreciative that I was blessed to recognize that before it was too late,” said Prejean.

Abbeville High School senior Khandi Shuford signed on Thursday with Midland University in Fremont, Nebraska, to continue her power lifting career while she pursues a degree in criminal justice.
Shuford, who carries a 3.7 GPA and just won her fourth state championship, chose Midland because of its reputation as a power-lifting school and its proximity to home. Midland’s women’s team has also won the national collegiate title four years in a row.

On Tuesday at around 10:30 a.m., VC head coach Broc Prejean emailed the Vermilion Catholic Community to announce he will not return next school year.
He gave the reason he is not returning in the email was to spend more time with his family.
The Meridional reached out to Prejean on Tuesday afternoon regarding the email, but he declined to comment at this time.
Prejean is the most successful head football coach in VC history, compiling a 60-14 record from 2020 to 2025.
