Andy was a three-sport athlete for Hannibal Pirates with college offers in football and basketball and loves coaching and giving back to the Hannibal Pirate Athletics where possible. Andy has been behind the scenes since the beginning with Hannibal Hooks and HYB staff. He's been coaching 2 age groups for the last 4 years and will be coaching the HYB 5th Graders this year.
On the hardwood for the pirates Andy's 1993 team holds the points per game record, still, 30 years later (60pts). His pedigree in basketball also led him to attend Moberly Area Junior college where his father attended in the 60's and won a national championship. During his tenure at Moberly, Andy started as a shooting guard where their 94 team still has the highest scoring game on record over 135 points in a single game. Andy then moved on to Southwest Missouri State where injury would end his playing days. His "Shoot first, ask questions later!" and "Defend, Defend, Defend!" mentality he believes helps boosts the confidence of the young HYB players.

Born and raised in Hannibal, Mike has had the honor and privilege of coaching youth sports in the area for over 11 years. He has true passion for watching kids succeed both on the court and off. His goal for our youth is not measured by wins and losses, but what a young person can accomplish if they give 100% effort.

Mike is married to Whitney Holliday, who is the Director of Parents as Teachers for the Hannibal School District, and they have two sons, Reid - age 15, and Harrison - age 11. Besides being a practicing attorney in Hannibal, he believes in serving our community, and has had the pleasure of previously serving on the Hannibal Board of Education for 15 years, and being a past Hannibal Area Chamber of Commerce.
