Eagles on the verge

Fri, 12/11/2020 - 12:24pm

In order for the No. 2 VC Eagles to play for the school’s third state title, they have to beat a team that has won six state titles, including last year’s Division IV state title.
No. 3 Ouachita Christian Eagles (8-1) travels to Abbeville to battle the No. 2 Eagles in the semifinal game. The winner heads to the Division IV state finals. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m.
While VC may be the higher seed, Ouachita Christian will be a tough opponent because of their talent.
As a team, the OC Eagles average 226 yards on the ground and 144 in the air.

VC faces unfamiliar, but tough challenge

Fri, 12/11/2020 - 12:22pm

There is no real history between the Vermilion Catholic Eagles (8-0) and the Ouachita Christian Eagles (8-1).
The schools have only played each other once, in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs in 2010. The OC Eagles won 56-0. They went on to finish state runner up in Class 1A.
The crazy thing is that Ouachita head coach Steven Fitzhugh was also the head coach back then.
Tonight the two tangle for only the second time. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Eagle Stadium.
