St. Frederick well aware of Vermilion Catholic

Fri, 11/16/2018 - 8:41am

Vermilion Catholic has a special place in St. Frederick’s heart.
Back in 2013, in the Division IV state finals, VC met St. Frederick in the Superdome. When the game was over, the Eagles won their second state title and St. Frederick’s went home with their tail between their legs after being drummed 63-18.
That was five years ago and none of the current St. Frederick players were part of the team. But trust me, they are aware of the final score.
