Sciandra Returns

Writer's picture: tgardner1167tgardner1167

The outgoing message on Angelo Sciandra’s voicemail says he can’t pick up because he is busy playing golf or swimming.

Sciandra has one more thing on his to do list as he recently agreed to return as the athletic director of Cardinal O’Hara High School.

“It’s a love,” Sciandra said. “I love Cardinal O’Hara. I love athletics. I just thought maybe if this can work as a part-time thing for me it might be good for me and it might be good for Cardinal O’Hara.”

Sciandra had previously worked as the O’Hara AD from 2001 until his retirement in 2016 when he turned the reigns over to Brian Lamping.

Sciandra also served as the school’s head varsity football coach during that time frame where he turned the Hawks into a major power. Leading them to six Monsignor Martin Athletic Association championships.

Lamping, who wears many hats at O’Hara, has stepped down so he can focus more time on his work in the fine arts department. “Few people love O’Hara as much as Brian does,” Sciandra said.

Boys varsity basketball coach Tony Pulvirenti will take on the roll of assistant athletic director and work side by side with Sciandra.

It’s a perfect partnership in Sciandra’s eyes.

With Sciandra agreeing to return for one year, though not official, it appears that Pulvirenti will eventually take over as AD. Which is fine in Sciandra’s eyes.

“Tony and I have the same values,” Sciandra said.

Pulvirenti will learn the ropes from Sciandra and if there is a reason Angelo cannot attend a game Tony will be there overseeing the event.

Though he was enjoying retirement Sciandra is the type who has to remain active. Along with his hobbies of golf and swimming he had taken on officiating travel softball and summer league basketball.

But football remained his first love. So much so that last season he was on the sidelines at Tonawanda High School helping Warriors head coach Joe Kelly.

That, Sciandra said, was the toughest part. Having to tell Kelly he would not be back because he felt Kelly and his staff had turned things around and even better days were coming for Tonawanda football. Angelo said he genuinely appreciated the fact Kelly welcomed him in.

“That was a tough conversation,” Sciandra said. “I felt bad. I love coaching. It was a hard talk. A tough decision to make.”

Ultimately, Sciandra’s love for O’Hara pulled him back to where he feels he belongs.

Being gone for three years the school has a whole new group of students and athletes that Sciandra has never met.

So this will give his return the unique mix of feeling like he is coming back home, but also starting something brand new.

“That’s exactly right,” he said. “I’m kind of excited. I’m gonna be around kids again. I’m gonna be doing what I love to do again and I’m kinda nervous at the same time. Like ok what’s changed? What’s going on here?”

Sciandra said it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he might help O’Hara football this season, but he and head coach Shaq Dudley have not had any talks on the subject. So nothing is official. His return, at least for now, is strictly as an administrator.

“I’m thinking that right now, yes and I’m thinking they’re feeling the same thing. It’s a good fit for them and for me.”
