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.

ERATH - An elite track and field athlete does not come around Vermilion Parish too often .
In the last 20 years - the parish has watched greatness only twice and both were by male performers.
In 2008, spectators came watch Barrett Nugent of North Vermilion run the hurdle races (110-and 300-meter hurdles) and the 100- and 200-meter dashes. He never disappointed.
Two years ago, the parish once again saw greatness with Gabe Clement of Kaplan, who ran amazing times in the 400 meter runs.

Vermilion Catholic turned in a complete performance Monday night, rolling to a 10–0 victory over Highland Baptist Christian behind a dominant outing on the mound from Will Simon.
Simon controlled the game from the start and never allowed Highland Baptist to generate any momentum. The right-hander tossed five hitless innings, striking out eight and issuing just one walk in an efficient performance that powered the Eagles to the run-rule victory.
