Josh Downey was recently hired to replace Dave Roberts as Timberline High boys basketball coach after leading Heritage High in Vancouver, Wash., to a stunning turnaround in his only season at the school.
Downey inherited a Heritage team that finished the 2007-08 season with a 0-20 record. He guided the team to a 14-11 record and the school’s first district championship in 2008-09.
Dave Roberts resigned as Timberline boys basketball coach after being hired as principal at East Junior High. The Wolves finished the 2008-09 season 12-10 and didn't qualify for the 5A state tournament.
