Stanton is a nationally acclaimed college preparatory school. Being among the top ranked schools in the nation, Stanton is usually more focused on their academia.
However, under coach Michael Healy, the Blue Devils have a new athletic prowess. Last year, Stanton broke multiple school records, including their first ever rusher to achieve a 1000-yard season. As well as the most wins in a single season at five.
Before coach Healy came to Stanton, the school had not won a game in five years. Healey aimed to change that with his football mindset. “When I first came here I was going to run the ball between the tackles no matter what it took,” Healey said. That is exactly what they did.
While the offense was able to come into its own, the team lacked its defense. This is something that Coach Healey is working on this offseason. “The problems are on defense being able to match up in space with good athletes,” he said. “We need to firm up that aspect on defense and we should be able to play with everyone on our schedule.”
The Blue Devils aren’t only showing promise on the field but in their academics as well, boasting many Merit Scholars.
We are excited to see how far the Blue Devils can go this coming season.
