The No. 1 Vermilion Catholic Eagles completed their third-consecutive 10-0 season Friday with a 49-7 thumping of the Westminster Christian-Lafayette Chargers.
The Eagles (10-0, 4-0) have now won 35-straight regular season games. While that’s a remarkable feat, VC head coach Broc Prejean is focused on his present team and what they’ve accomplished.

When the game was over, and Erath won 42-28, Abbeville Wildcat assistant coach Brandon Johnson summarized the outcome of Friday’s football game between Erath and Abbeville.
“We made them earn it,” Johnson said proudly to the Wildcat players after the game.
The Wildcats did precisely that.
Abbeville entered the game against Erath with a  0-9 record, and they were playing for nothing but pride. They were not going to the playoffs.

LEROY – The No. 13 North Vermilion Lady Patriots ended a seven-year playoff drought Wednesday with a three-set victory over the No. 20 Plaquemine Lady Green Devils in the Bi-District Round of the 2024 LHSAA Division II Volleyball Playoffs, 25-8, 25-5, 25-14.
The Lady Pats (15-6) advanced past the first round for the first time since 2016. They had lost six consecutive playoff games. For head coach Ashly Boudreaux and the senior class, ending that streak was the goal.
