Ybarra Transfers to Downey

Jordan Ybarra, a top pitcher at Long Beach Millikan, has transferred to Downey, according to Gazettes.com. The transfer was accompanied by a change of address, so Ybarra will be eligible to play this season.

Jordan, will be missed from the mound more than anywhere else at Millikan. His ability to keep his team close, as well as go deep into a game, will be difficult to replace next season.

Athletes moving/shopping for schools has become more and more of an accepted practice in this day and age, as evidenced by a willingness of parents to relocate. However, the uncertainty of coaches/teachers keeping their jobs in most schools in the LBUSD must have many parents unsettled.

Millikan, once again, has more head coaches displaced than any other Moore League School. Jeff Breuklander - Head Basketball coach; Kevin McCarthy - Head Track Coach; Scott Glasser - Head Baseball coach; Jack Murry - Assistant Varsity Football coach/Head Tennis coach, have all been either relocated or not yet re-assigned.

Add to this, two new head coaches in; Water Polo and Cross Country......it is going to be a very challenging year at Millikan to say the least.
