VC head football coach Broc Prejean and first-year Kentwood head football coach Corneloius Blount have something in common.
They both played against one another in the 2003 Class 1A state finals in the Louisiana Superdome.
Prejean was a senior on the VC football team in 2003, and Blount was a junior who earned all-state honors.
Prejean wore jersey No. 9 and played strong safety, and Blount played outside linebacker and wore No. 11.
Prejean and the Eagles beat Kentwood 10-6 to win VC’s first two state titles.

The No. 1 Vermilion Catholic Eagles crushed the No. 8 St. Edmund Blue Jays 60-20 in the quarterfinals of the Select Division IV playoffs Friday night in Eagle Stadium.
It is the first time VC scored 60 points in a game since 2020, when it scored 64. 
The Eagles (12-0) fell behind early but answered with a 34-point second quarter to put the game out of reach.  Quarterback Jonathan Dartez accounted for 307 total yards of offense and six touchdowns.

 The number 78 was special for the Vermilion Catholic defense on Friday. Throughout the week before the game, they kept seeing the number 78 all over social media. But rather than intimidating them, it seemed to fuel their fire even more.
By game time, the VC defense had one goal: to prevent the St. Edmund’s offense from doing what it did against St. Martin’s in the second round of the playoffs. St. Edmund’s won 78-32. Many thought the 78 was a statement for their next opponent.
