Former Opelika High baseball head coach and football assistant Jamey DuBose was named interim head coach at 6A champion Prattville Thursday after it was announced the Lions’ coach, Bill Clark, was moving to Mobile to accept the role as South Alabama defensive coordinator.

South Alabama, coached by former Alabama receiver and Mountain Brook head coach Joey Jones, is a fledgling college program that will not begin play until 2009.

DuBose worked as an assistant football coach under Spence McCracken in the late 1990s. During that time, he followed Thad Burgess as the school’s head baseball coach.
