SEE IT: Hard Fought, Hard Loss For Millikan Homecoming: Cabrillo 26,Millikan 13
(Oct. 11, 2014) -- It wasn't what Millikan High's Homecoming crowd came to see. Many ELB fans in the filled bleachers expected Millikan's 7-6 halftime lead to hold -- and confidence grew with an 80-yard Millikan touchdown run in the second half -- but a strong showing by WLB's Cabrillo High combined with a disastrous fourth quarter for Millikan (including turnovers/interceptions) put Cabrillo on top with a final score of 26-13.

LBREPORT.com's LIVE and ON-DEMAND VIDEO streaming was provided by Dan Halverson (WebCastLongBeach.com) who successfully overcame complex internet challenges. These included a digital bandwidth issue that cropped up (despite pre-testing) during the game's second quarter. Mr. Halverson scrambled to solve the problem...and had it cured by half-time.
Mr. Halverson took special efforts to ensure an independently solid wireless web connection (not tying up campus WiFi) and sent video using professional grade equipment. LBREPORT.com treated our first sports webcast as a prototype and advised readers that possible internet issues could arise...and a digital issue during part of the second quarter was rectified by half time.
Kevin Fielder, a teacher in Millikan's English Department, provided accurate and professional P.A. announcements. Here's how he does it.
Millikan's Homecoming Queen is announced.
