Team Contributions: Lions star athlete Collin Matos was a two-way standout on Redding Christian's state championship-winning football team in 2025, and he's continued his athletic success on the basketball court. In the Lions' four games between Dec. 29 to Jan. 4, Matos averaged 24.3 points per game, including a 32-point outing in a 62-30 win over Mt. Shasta at the Jamie Angley Classic. Matos also scored 25 points to help the Lions take down Foothill on Saturday, Jan. 3.
