Usually when people hear the term “R&R”, they think of one of two things:
- Rest & Relaxation (or sometimes Recreation)
- Rock & Roll
But in the case of outgoing WPIAL Executive Director Tim O’Malley, the two R’s that he spoke about on the January 11 edition of the Saturday Sports Slam were realignment–which the league needs to have in place within a couple months–and retirement, which O’Malley will be doing effective this July.
O’Malley spoke extensively about the survey recently sent out to all schools in the WPIAL regarding football realignment, giving each school district their choice for either a format similar to that of the last few years under a six-classification system, or a newer, geographically-based system that disregards classification.
During his interview, O’Malley also spoke with Matt Drzik & Greg Benedetti about his decision to retire, his replacement in Amy Scheuneman, and the recent passing of his longtime co-worker and friend, Charles ‘Ace’ Heberling.
