Deserving Victory: DuBose Gears Up for First Season With Vikings

Lowndes High football is coming off of one of the most successful seasons in recent history, winning 14 games before losing its last contest in the state championship against Marietta. 

The immediate thought after the championship game was that the Vikings would be poised for another run in 2020, but that was before long-time head coach Randy McPherson announced his retirement on Dec. 17. 

McPherson coached the Vikings for 18 years and is the winningest coach in program history with a 181-46 record to go along with eight region championships and three state titles.

McPherson’s retirement sent shockwaves through the region and opened the door for a new head Viking to be found. For weeks different names circulated, but after a search that included 90 coaches from 20 different states, Jamey DuBose was selected as the new head coach for Lowndes football. 

DuBose coached at Central-Phenix City in Alabama for six years prior to coming to Lowndes. He won 66 games, had six region championships, and had a pair of trips to the state championship, winning the 2018 7A title.
