LaFayette High School has announced Lee Bohannon as the interim head football coach for the upcoming 2026 football season.

Coach Bohannon joined the Ramblers coaching staff earlier this spring as the team’s new defensive coordinator. He now steps into the head coaching role following the departure of Coach Ethan Thompson, who recently accepted a head coaching position in Arizona.

According to school officials, Bohannon brings 36 years of football coaching experience spanning schools in Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee.

A LaFayette High School alumnus and former Rambler coach, Bohannon is returning with what school leaders describe as a high-energy approach, deep knowledge of the game, and a strong passion for the LaFayette football program.

The school is encouraging the Rambler community to welcome Coach Bohannon back to “100 Rambler Drive” as preparations begin for the 2026 season.
