NEW ORLEANS - What an epic way to wrap up your last high school football game! You’re out there on Louisiana’s biggest stage, showcasing your skills in front of thousands of fans and on TV, and it all pays off in the end.
That was the case for Jonathan “Jon Jon” Dartez.
Dartez, the quarterback for VC for the past four years, rushed a record-high 47 times during the LHSAA Prep Classic, the most in its 44-year history. These carries were crucial as he led VC to its third state title, achieving a 33-21 victory over Ouachita Christian on Thursday.
NEW ORLEANS – For the first time in 11 years and the third time overall, the Vermilion Catholic Eagles are state champions, defeating Ouachita Christian in the Select Division IV championship game 33-21.
VC (14-0) clung to a 26-21 lead as OCS marched down the field with time running out in the fourth quarter. On fourth and 10 from the VC 21-yard-line with 26 seconds left in the game, OCS quarterback N.L. Vidrine threw to the left sideline. VC’s Caleb Guidry stepped in front of the receiver and raced 87 yards for the title-clinching touchdown.
VC quarterback Jonathan “Jon Jon” Dartez received two football scholarship offers within 12 hours after previously having none.
After VC blanked Kentwood 33-0 in the semifinal game on Friday, Dartez said no college or university offered him anything to play football. The 5-foot-9 senior quarterback said that motivated him all season.
