VC Eagles regular season winning streak is now 31

NEW IBERIA - The winning streak continues.
The Vermilion Catholic Eagles have now 31 straight regular season games after beating Highland Baptist 56-0 on Friday.
The last time the Eagles lost a regular season game was three years ago against Erath. 
This Friday, they will entertain a tough district opponent: the Ascension Episcopal Blue Gators (6-0). The winner of that game will have the upper hand to win the district title and also move up in the Division IV Select PowerPoint Standings.

NORTH VERMILION'S HEAD COACH GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN THREE TIMES HELPED BEAT COMEAUX

Leroy—North Vermilion head coach Roderick Moy prefers not to punt the football to the other team. He was that way at Abbeville High, and he’s still that way at North Vermilion.
It has now been two games since his team punted.
During the game on Friday, the Patriots encountered fourth down situations three times when they were more than five yards away from a first down at midfield. Each time, instead of punting, the team went for it. Each time they did, the offense successfully gained the first down.

Felipe’s field goal gives Erath win over DeQuincy

DEQUINCY, La. — Erath kicker Eli Felipe made a 28-yard field goal with 1:29 remaining, securing a 30-28 victory over DeQuincy on Thursday.
Felipe had missed an extra point and a field goal earlier in the game, but EHS head coach Eric LeBlanc said he had confidence in his kicker.
“His misses were more about operations,” said LeBlanc. “We talked to the snapper and holder to correct some things. I was confident to let him kick.”
It is the second time the Bobcats have defeated a team in Lake Charles. Last week, they beat Westlake 21-20, which was also undefeated.

VC stuns Riverside behind team-effort performance

NEW ORLEANS - Before Friday’s game against Riverside Academy, Vermilion Catholic head coach Broc Prejean mentioned that the coaching staff did not approach the game as a revenge match for last year’s loss to Riverside in the semifinals. Instead, they concentrated on the current season. Their focus paid off, as they achieved their goal.
The Eagles improved to 5-0 after beating Riverside 49-34 on the road.
The Eagles accumulated 576 yards of offense and scored seven touchdowns.
