       Since 2010, Clarke County has gone a combined 34-40. Their 46.0% winning percentage ranks 34th in Class 3A over the past seven seasons.

Chris Young leaves Clarke County after just one season with a 4-6 record.


Stacy Luker arrives at Clarke after spending the last two seasons down the road at Demopolis. His two seasons produced a 17-7 record. He has won 188 games as a head coach at Washington County, Thomasville and Sweet Water in twenty-one seasons.

Coach Luker will bring a winning spirit to the Clarke County program that has not had a lot of success in recent years.



       Coach Luker's overall record as a head football coach in twenty-one season stands at 188-73 (72.0%). His 188 wins rank th among active coaches in the AHSAA.
