The only head football coach that Oaks Christian has ever had, is retiring.

After 12-years with the Lions, Bill Redell is stepping down as the head coach of the program.  The 70-year old Redell retires with an incredible record of 144-17-1 at the school with seven CIF-Southern Section titles.

Redell, who also coached at Crespi and St. Francis, amassed an overall record of 233-65-3.

A nationwide search will be conducted to find a replacement, although there are several assistants on Redell's staff that could be promoted into the head coaching position.
