Busy O’Donnell takes reigns at Marion

Tue - 16 Nov Written by Jim Ecker

Brian O’Donnell could teach a class in time management. If he had the time, that is.

O’Donnell teaches social studies at Springville High School, putting in a full day that typically stretches from 7:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.

When that’s over, he hustles over to Marion High School to coach the girls basketball team from roughly 4 to 6 p.m., but he’s not done yet.

He’s taking on-line classes from Grand Canyon College to get an administrative degree, so he’s got to flip on the computer for his class, and he’s also married with two young children, Brady, almost 3, and Blake, 8 months.

“So we stay busy,” said O’Donnell, catching his breath after a practice.

He described his wife, Jenny, as “very tolerant.”

“The wife of a coach,” he said.

O’Donnell, 35, succeeded Sherryl Gaffney-Paige as the head coach at Marion this year after a successful stint as the head girls’ basketball coach at Springville. He went 0-22 in his first year at Springville, yet by 2008 the Orioles were the Class 1A state champions.
