Gianni is currently the head coach of the Warriors boys basketball team as well as Athletic Director.

He has been an avid athlete and competitor his whole life. He’s enjoyed competing in and coaching baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, and martial arts.

Gianni received college scholarships for both basketball and baseball as well as 3 black belts as a young adult. Gianni served his country in the US Army and served his community as a law enforcement officer (LEO). Gianni left both decorated for service, valor and courage in face of danger.

Quote from Gianni ~ I have seen Gods hand in my life and have been blessed by Him in more ways than I can list. I believe His guidance brought me and my family to PAHAA to be active members and to take part in its growth. I genuinely believe we can be a Christian Athletic Organization that is playing competitively in every sport we take part in. I lead and strive for perfection in all I do, because I owe it to God, my wife, and my sons.

Varsity Girls Coach

Edward McKim is in his 4th year coaching PAHAA basketball. He has coached the 14U, 16U, and 18U girls teams. He has been helping coach and train basketball players at different levels for over 15 years. It is his belief that basketball taught properly is a high energy game that should be fun to play and fun to watch. A firm believer in the principles taught in Matthew 5:13-16, he teaches that “Basketball is a microcosm of life. You are either influencing what is going on around you, or it is influencing you.”

Edward works for the United States Postal Service. Happily married to Mindy for 27 years, they have been blessed with 7 children and recently became grandparents to their first grandchild, Rustin. They have 3 daughters that are currently assistant coaches with PAHAA and 1 daughter that is still playing basketball with PAHAA. They attend New Hope Church in Cooper and reside in Pecan Gap.

I guess some of his enthusiasm rubbed off! Looking forward to what God has in store for me in years to come. My life verse is Philippians 3:14,  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Assistant Varsity Girls Coach

Brittany McKim has been coaching for the past three years. She has been an assistant coach for the 14u, 16u, and 18u girls basketball teams.  “I have really enjoyed helping my Dad, Edward McKim, coach girls basketball at PAHAA. I am getting to teach and encourage others and pass along things I have been taught through my 21 years of life. I loved playing the game of basketball and I hope I am passing on a love for the game as well as encouraging good character both on and off the court for these young ladies. My life verse is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” I can do nothing without him. Looking forward to what God has in store for my life in the years ahead!”

“I am the third born of seven children. One of my great blessings has been to become an Auntie to the cutest nephew ever, Rustin, thanks to my oldest brother Austin and his wife Gabbie. My pride and joy! He is going to be so spoiled!”
