Fri, 03/21/2025 - 10:21am

The Vermilion Catholic Lady Eagles jumped ahead early and held on for a 9-7 victory against the Abbeville Lady Wildcats on Tuesday.
This season the two teams met for bragging rights with the Lady Eagles winning both contests. VC head coach Kim Guidry thought her team did a good job of overcoming challenges.
“We did a good job of playing through adversity,” Guidry said. “Two or three times during the game we didn’t know what was going on because the officials didn’t know what was going on. We didn’t give up; We persevered. It was a good win.”
