Downey is listed as the running back, outside linebacker, kicker and punter. In addition, quarterback and defensive back Jaeger Fyfe returns with the hopes of making big plays on offense and defense.
Omak began the season with a 55-6 loss to Okanogan. The Pioneers’ offense had a handful of turnovers, including two fumbles and an interception in the first quarter. They will look to rebound in their second straight road game.
