Joe Downey spent 25 years of his professional live at Theodore High School.
Downey graduated from Theodore in 1970, played quarterback and punter for Florida State from 1971-1975 and returned to his alma mater as head baseball coach and assistant football coach in 1977.
Downey had a pair of 11-win seasons while coaching at Theodore. In 1995, the Bobcats went 11-2, losing only a 7-6 game to Foley in the regular season before falling at Jeff Davis in the Class 6A quarterfinals. In 2000 – his second to last year as head coach – Theodore went 11-1, ultimately suffering its only loss to Central-Phenix City in the second round.
Downey spends most of his life these days with his family and also attends most home game weekends at his alma mater Florida State. Congratulations on a well-deserved honor, coach.
