VC whips Westminster

The Vermilion Catholic Eagles allowed Westminster to get only one first down and only two yards of offense en route to a 14-0 win in Opelousas on Thursday.
The Eagles scored one touchdown in the first half and one in the second half.
In the first half, the Eagles marched 73 yards for a score.
They mixed up the play-calling by throwing and running the ball four times.
The most extensive run of the drive was by quarterback Jonathan Dartez, who had a 15-yard sprint up the middle.
Then, a few plays later, Dartez connected with Andrew Prejean for a 17-yard reception that set up VC’s first touchdown.
The completion moved the ball down to the Westminster five-yard line. On the next play, Dartez ran it in for a touchdown at 10:01 mark in the first half.
In the second half, VC did not have to go as far for a score with 1:22 to play in the game.
The drive began at the Westminster 30-yard line.
Tajh Williams ran it in from the four-yard-line for a touchdown.
Williams finished with eight carries for 24 yards, while Dartez ran three times for 21 yards.
Dartez completed six out of nine passes for 73 yards.
William Simon also played quarterback. He completed two out of four passes for 17 yards.
Prejean had two catches for 45 yards, while Ethan Landry had two for 17 yards. Jyrin Bessard also had two catches for 11 yards.
Dartez punted twice for a 32 yard average.
VC is at home Friday against Catholic High. Game time is at 7 p.m.
