Granada Hills reaches state championship game — without completing a pass

The early-morning fog casts a sheen over John Elway Stadium, the Granada Hills High football players assembling into formation again, bundled in hoodies underneath forest-green jerseys.

This was the stamping grounds for one of the greatest athletes in City Section history, a young John Elway slinging the ball for the Highlanders in his pre-NFL days. Yet 45 years later, nary a pass cuts through this Monday morning haze, coach Bucky Brooks barking out directions as his players line up in their vaunted double-wing offense again. And again. And again.

They put hours upon hours into the running game, Utah commit and featured running back Dijon Stanley says. And indeed the Highlanders have, riding Stanley and his cousin Darrell Stanley to a 12-2 season and a spot in the CIF Division 4-A state championship football bowl game against Novato San Marin on Saturday.

These Highlanders aren’t just run-heavy, though. They’re run-only, unlike any state championship team in California history. Get this: Granada Hills, the home of Elway, hasn’t completed a pass all season. All seven of their pass attempts have fallen incomplete.

When asked whether that was strange to look back on, Dijon Stanley grinned and shook his head.

“We’ve been doing this all year,” said Stanley, who has rushed for 32 touchdowns this season. “It’s not really weird to us. We always say we would rather be great at one thing than be good at a lot of things.”

The irony? Brooks, the mad scientist and former NFL kick returner cooking up this scheme, was once a proponent of a spread offense at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame under then-coach Kevin Rooney.

“He was the guy, when coaching with us, was trying to get us to throw the ball more,” Rooney said of Brooks.

Yet after years of talented quarterbacks and receivers at Notre Dame, Brooks quickly learned in 2019 — his first year at Granada Hills — that the City Section was a completely different ballgame.

After attempting to start the season in a power-spread offense, trying formations out of the shotgun and mixing runs with bubble screens, Brooks realized he had to pivot as his Highlanders coaching career started 0-3. The double-wing, then, was merely a part of their goal-line playbook. Brooks made it the focal point of their offensive system.

In today’s City Section landscape, Brooks said, it’s not always easy to find a quality quarterback. Even harder to retain them. So his philosophy in building a program? Have a system in place that lets you play without the pass.

“In high school,” Brooks said, “you got to coach what shows up.”

Dec. 2, 2022

What’s shown up this season: the Stanley cousins, who have run wild in the double-wing behind an offensive line that has played together for a couple of seasons. Darrell, a sophomore, has run for 1,294 yards. Dijon, now a senior but playing his first full high school football season after breaking his collarbone last year, has racked up 2,670 yards.

After that injury-interrupted junior season, when Granada Hills stumbled to a 4-6 record, many believed Dijon would leave, he said. Not an option. He had known Brooks from his youth football days, and the coach, Dijon said, gave him a chance after he transferred from Grace Brethren High.

“It does give me a little sense of pride to just come out and play with my brothers,” Dijon said. “No scouting, no recruiting. These are just kids from — half of them live around the corner from the school, me being one of them.”

On Saturday, the neighborhood kids beat Laguna Beach, a Southern Section program with 38 passing touchdowns on the year, in a 56-55 barnburner for the CIF Division 4-A regional title. San Marin, the Highlanders’ opponent for the state title Saturday, is a team that has recorded — in a remarkable coincidence — 38 passing touchdowns on the year.

Since 2019, Brooks’ first season, Granada Hills has passed for one score.

“I think the challenge that you have sometimes as a coach is, are you married to systems or are you married to what works well for what you have?” Brooks said.

Charter School Parents Kept In The Dark

The arrest of former Granada Hills Charter School coach exposes how parents are often not made aware of potential dangers to their children.“You take no interest, no opinion’s too dear You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams ...

The arrest of former Granada Hills Charter School coach exposes how parents are often not made aware of potential dangers to their children.

You take no interest, no opinion’s too dear You make the rounds and you try to be so sincere You guard your hopes and you pocket your dreams You’d trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene” – Billy Squier

Reacting to a post on the Facebook page Parents Supporting Teachers about the arrest of a former Granada Hills Charter School coach for “multiple counts of lewd acts with a minor,” a person describing themselves as a parent at the school says that “The school did not send any info to the parents about this!” This lack of disclosure was no surprise to another commentator who stated: “That’s Granada for you. They hide a lot from parents and the community in the name of optics and PR.”

While LAUSD policy required Granada to notify parents of the violation issued by the District, the school instead sent a watered-down letter that stated that the district, as the owners of the property, had found violations of the “Sole Occupant Agreement (SOA)”. No mention was made of conditions that jeopardized the students’ health and safety. The school was never held accountable for this lack of notification and was granted a renewal of its charter despite the fact that some of the conditions outlined in the Notice of Violation had not been fixed.

Granada is also not the only charter school that has neglected to inform parents about hazards faced by its students. In 2019, the North Valley Military Institute (NVMI) quietly settled a lawsuit alleging students were victims of “abhorrent child sex abuse”. The alleged perpetrator was an administrator at the publicly funded private school who lived with its Executive Director, Mark Ryan. Neither NVMI parents nor the community of the Sun Valley High School campus where the charter is co-located was informed of the incidents.

Granada Hills wins City Section Division I championship behind Dijon Stanley

Not since 1987 had Granada Hills won a City Section football championship. And the Highlanders have never had a teenager who runs as fast as senior Dijon Stanley, the 400-meter City champion.Each time Stanley has his hands on the football, he can take the breath away of fans and opponents alike. His first carry in the City Section Division I championship game Saturday at Valley College resulted in a 39-yard touchdown run. Then came touchdown runs of 41, 90 and 12 yards.

Palisades had no answer for Stanley, who finished with 367 yards rushing and five touchdowns in helping the Highlanders (11-2) end their championship drought with a 44-7 victory.

Granada Hills coach Bucky Brooks, an NFL analyst on TV and radio, didn’t have much time to celebrate. He had to take a redeye flight to Florida. He’s the sideline reporter for Jacksonville broadcasts. A former NFL player, Brooks has helped develop Stanley as a football player. Yet he has to explain as coach at the alma mater of John Elway why the Highlanders haven’t completed a single pass this season.

“We have to do what works for the kids,” Brooks said.

Stanley has committed to Utah. Stanley is used as a quarterback and wing back in the double-wing offensive formation. The Highlanders advance to next week’s state bowl playoffs and learn their opponent when regional matchups are released Sunday.

Granada Hills’ defense also distinguished itself with strong play. Sean Lopez and Oliver Taylor each recorded sacks and Orion Norcon returned an interception 72 yards to the 10-yard line.

“We practice every day at 5:30 in the morning,” Stanley said. “A lot of people can’t do that.”

The Highlanders lost in the first round of the playoffs last season, then started practicing a week later and the hard work paid off.

LAGUNA BEACH — Granada Hills Charter ran for 484 yards and seven touchdowns Saturday in a 56-55 win over Laguna Beach in the CIF Southern California Division 4-A Regional championship game at Laguna Beach High.

There were 11 lead changes between the two teams and three in the fourth quarter.

Granada Hills (12-2) was the L.A. City Section Division I champion after beating Palisades last week. The Highlanders will travel to play San Marin for the Division 4-A state championship next week.

Laguna Beach (11-4) won the Southern Section Division 9 championship last week against Diamond Bar. It was the first championship for Laguna Beach since 1946.

Granada Hills running back Dijon Stanley entered the game with 2,397 yards rushing, which was the second most in the state. He ran for 252 yards on 21 carries with four touchdowns Saturday.

“It feels great,” said Stanley. “My linemen did a good job opening the holes and we executed very well. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”

“We don’t see speed like that with opponents we play,” Laguna Beach coach John Shanahan said of Stanley. “There’s a reason that guy is going to Utah. He is the real deal.”

Laguna Beach sophomore quarterback Jackson Kollock threw for 314 yards with five touchdown passes. He also ran for a touchdown.

The Breakers took a lead late in the third quarter. Micah Chavez recovered a fumble and shortly after Kollock threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Ryner Swanson to put the Breakers ahead 49-44. Swanson had 98 yards on eight receptions.

Dijon Stanley ran for his fourth touchdown of the game on a 26-yard run to give the Highlanders a 50-49 lead early in the fourth.

Kollock threw a touchdown pass to Merrick Vellmure to go up 55-50 with 5 minutes remaining in the game. Shanahan elected to go for a two-point attempt but the Breakers didn’t convert and led by five.

“I wanted to get up by seven, and I didn’t think I was going for the win right there with all that time left,” Shanahan said. “This is going to be a long night for me because there are some things I could have done differently.”

Darrell Stanley returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown to put the Highlanders ahead for good 56-55.

“It was a beautiful night of football. Both teams fought hard and were classy, but unfortunately we ended up on the wrong side,” Shanahan said. “We accomplished our goals this season. I don’t know if you could have a more special season than we had.”

The teams traded the lead seven times in the first half and combined for 71 points. Granada Hills ran for 368 yards in the first half and Laguna Beach had 228 yards of total offense in the half.

Darrell Stanley and Kanye Martin had long touchdown runs in the first quarter for Granada Hills.

Kollock threw two touchdown passes to Jackson Rodriguez in the first half and ran for a touchdown. Rodriguez also had an 86-yard kick return in the second quarter.

The Breakers took the lead late in the first half when Myles Freeman recovered a Granada Hills fumble and returned it 50 yards for a touchdown to give the Breakers a 28-24 lead.

Dijon Stanley ran for two touchdowns in the first half, one from 55 yards and a 67-yarder as time expired in the first half.

Instead, the offense took to the ground, with Stanley leading the way. In his 12 games, he rushed for 2,397 yards on 188 carries, good for 12.8 yards per pop and 199.8 rushing yards per game. He reached the end zone 32 times on offense.

Delgado had 284 yards on 37 carries, good for 7.7 yards per carry and five touchdowns. He looks like he'll be able to pick up the mantle from Stanley just fine after the senior's graduation.

The run game also ran through sophomore Darrell Stanley, who had 1,181 yards and 19 touchdowns on 123 carries.

In total, Granada Hills rushed for 5,412 yards, an average of 416.3 per game, and 75 touchdowns.

The defense and special teams also hit pay dirt often. The Stanleys both scored in all three facets of the game, with Dijon recording a pick-six, punt return touchdown, kickoff return touchdown and 11 successful two-point conversions, while Darrell had two pick-sixes and a punt return for touchdown.

But there's still more work to be done. The Highlanders are now competing in the Div. 4-A CIF State Football Championship Bowl Game, with a semifinal game Saturday against 11-3 Laguna Beach. The state championship game will take place the week after.

Granada Hills may need to start throwing some passes, but hey — don't fix what isn't broken. Rushing for 400 yards a game is certainly not broken.
