2024 Head Football Coaching Changes

South Choctaw Academy


     Joe Nettles leaves South Choctaw Academy after another one and done season on the sidelines. His 2023 team finished 5-6 losing in the first round of the playoffs. Coach Nettles has been a head football coach for 43 seasons at nineteen stops along the way. I believe that has to be some kind of record for most different places to have roamed the sidelines in Alabama.


2024 Season 

     Stacy Luker is back in the coaching ranks after accepting the head coaching job at South Choctaw Academy in December. The Hall of Fame coach sat out last season after six seasons at Clarke County with a record of 44-29. He led the Bulldogs to a 2A state championship in 2021 with a 13-2 record.

His 27 years on the sidelines have produced a record of 238-107 and six state titles. The 53-16 record is among the best winning percentages when playoffs are discussed in the state.
