Vermilion Catholic tennis teams each win a state title
The Vermilion Catholic boys’ and girls’ tennis teams traveled to Monroe on Monday for the Division IV LHSAA State Tennis Tournament. They left Tuesday with three state championships, including the girls’ doubles, girls’ team, and boys’ team titles.
While VC had previously claimed an individual state tennis championship, neither the boys nor girls had ever won a team championship. Tuesday, they killed two birds with one stone.
Vermilion Catholic head tennis coach Duane Dartez knew he had a talented team going in, but talent alone doesn’t win championships.
