Joey Gartin sits down with Gerald Piper, Athletic Director and Head Varsity Football Coach at Redding Christian School, to talk about an unforgettable season: an undefeated run that ended with a 16–0 state championship win in Southern California.</p> <p class="episode-summary">They break down what it really takes to build a winning program at a small school, how the team prepared for the "David vs. Goliath" matchup, and why culture, character, and leadership matter just as much as the scoreboard. You'll also hear about Redding Christian's unique mentorship atmosphere, their upcoming campus move, and ways the community can get involved through tours and tuition scholarship support.</p> <p class="episode-link">📌 Learn more about Redding Christian School: <a href="https://reddingchristian.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">reddingchristian.com</a></p> <p class="episode-cta">👍 If you enjoyed this conversation, please like, subscribe, and share — it helps us spotlight more of the people making Redding a great place to live.</p> </header> <section class="episode-section"> <h2>Chapters</h2> <ol class="chapters"> <li><span class="time">00:00</span> — Why Redding is special + the purpose of the show</li> <li><span class="time">02:02</span> — Undefeated season and winning the state championship</li> <li><span class="time">03:49</span> — David vs. Goliath: Small school vs. powerhouse opponent</li> <li><span class="time">05:14</span> — Program history: From 8-man football to state champions</li> <li><span class="time">07:06</span> — Film study and realizing they could win it all</li> <li><span class="time">08:25</span> — Multi-sport athletes and the team's unique talent</li> <li><span class="time">10:36</span> — Joey's family experience and discovering Redding Christian</li> <li><span class="time">14:49</span> — School culture, values, and focus on character</li> <li><span class="time">18:20</span> — Mentorship culture and positive peer influence</li> <li><span class="time">25:15</span> — Growing up together: Brotherhood and team chemistry</li> <li><span class="time">31:14</span> — Preparing students for life beyond sports</li> <li><span class="time">38:22</span> — Pressure after winning and lessons in competition</li> <li><span class="time">47:00</span> — Community support, scholarships, and the school's future</li> </ol> </section> <section class="episode-section bios"> <h2>About the Host</h2> <div class="bio-card"> <h3 class="bio-name">Joey Gartin</h3> <p class="bio-links"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/webdrvn">www.facebook.com/webdrvn</a> </p> <p class="bio-text">Founder of WebDrvn and host of All Redding, Joey Gartin is a passionate entrepreneur and community advocate dedicated to highlighting the people, businesses, and leaders shaping Northern California.

David vs. Goliath: Redding Christian's Undefeated State Championship Run | Gerald Piper Interview

<p>Redding isn't just lakes and trails—it's people. In this episode, Joey sits down with Ky Strickler (longtime YMCA leader, coach, and community-builder) to talk about getting our kids—and ourselves—off the screens and back into real, face-to-face community. From three-on-three hoops and school sports to men's groups, fatherhood, faith, and the power of simply showing up, Ky makes the case for "we over me."</p> <p>They dig into why loneliness is surging, how online anonymity fuels division, and what practical, local steps can reconnect us: youth programs, pick-up games, food-truck meetups, church and club gatherings, and intentional time with friends. If you care about Redding's next generation (and your own sanity), this conversation is a playbook.</p> <p>What you'll hear:</p> <p>- Youth, sports, and building resilience through teamwork</p> <p>- From isolation to involvement: real antidotes to anxiety & division</p> <p>- Men's friendship, mentorship, and the "Dad Project" idea</p> <p>- Faith, service, and leading with humility ("we over me")</p> <p>- Local community touchpoints: 3-on-3 tourneys, food-truck park, Cool April Nights, Rodeo Church</p> <p>If this episode resonates, drop a comment with your favorite Redding community event or a youth program to spotlight next.</p> <p>👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for more All Redding conversations.</p> <p>#AllRedding #ReddingCA #Community #YouthSports #Fatherhood #Faith #MentalHealth #WeOverMe</p> <p>AllRedding.com is your local online source for all things Redding and surrounding areas.
