Things looked a little shaky at the start for the Vermilion Catholic Lady Eagles in the first quarter against the Hanson Lady Tigers, but then VC settled down and played like they know how to play.
The end result was a 58-48 victory over Hanson and advancing to the final four of the Division IV playoffs.
VC will play Lafayette Christian Academy on Tuesday at 1:15 p.m. in the University Center at the campus of Southeastern Louisiana.
The winner of that game will play the winner of No. 1 Houma Christian/No. 4 Southern Lab winner on Friday.

GUEYDAN - The Gueydan Honeybears are heading back to the Class A Final Four for the first time in 16 years.
On Thursday in front of a packed gym full of Gueydan fans, the Honeybears beat Homer, 56-45, in the quarterfinal round.
Gueydan plays No. 2 seed Merryville Tuesday at 4:45 p.m. in Hammond.
“It feels great,” said GHS head coach Randall Bertrand.”It has always been a dream of mine to either play or coach in the Top 28.”
Ashari Terry, who has been steady all year, set the tone for Gueydan in the first quarter by scoring 13 of her 16 points.

And to think Kim “Gidge” Guidry almost did not become the head girls basketball coach at Vermilion Catholic High School.
Guidry was hired back in 1981 to be the VC girls’ basketball coach but did not coach a game for about four years.
She had to patiently wait for that position to reopen because a male assistant football coach was hired and the male coach became the girls basketball coach. Guidry had to settle for being the tennis coach and cheerleading coach.
