The Greenville High football banquet will take place Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the Greenville High cafeteria, but some changes have been made.

Prattville High head coach Bill Clark was slated to be the featured speaker but will not be able to attend due to his Lions being honored for their Class 6A State Championship.

Taking Clark's place will be the Lions' defensive coordinator, Duwan Walker.

Walker has served on Clark's staff at Prattville for the last eight years and was a huge part of the Lions' 35-21 win over the reigning champion Hoover Bucs.

Walker also played safety at Troy University and then served as a graduate assistant for the Trojans.
