Top Moments #9: Millikan Football Returns To Playoffs

After Millikan fired longtime beloved Rams coach Kirk Diego, the MIllikan football program fell on hard times. After going 14-36 from 2012 to 2016, the Rams made it to the CIF-SS quarterfinals in 2017, a feat that they repeated again this year, going 8-3 and once again taking second in the Moore League.

With the Rams hosting playoff games in back-to-back years, it was the most successful two year period stretch the school has had since the 1980s. There will be a new face trying to keep that momentum going, however, as Millikan hired Romeo Pellum to replace departed head coach Justin Utupo. SEE MORE
