At the Autauga County Board of Education meeting Tuesday evening, Superintendent of Autauga County Schools Lyman Woodfin confirmed that the search for a new Head Football Coach at Prattville High School continues.

Former head football Coach Jason Wallace announced his resignation last month. In the press release ACS stated that their administration started the search process immediately.

“They are currently in the interview process. I’ve instructed Dr. Farris and Coach Borrento take their time, go through everything and vet every candidate, and they are doing interviews,” Woodfin said.

Woodfin confirmed that they hope to have a new coach hired before Christmas, and stated he knows that everyone is eager to find out who the new coach will be.

In a statement put out by ACS regarding the situation, the statement reads, “Prattville High School is committed to providing its athletes with an exceptional education and athletic experience, and the search for the next football coach will focus on finding a leader who shares these values.”

If a new coach has been selected by Christmas, a special called Autauga County Board of Education meeting will be held in order to take the final steps in the hiring process.
