High school football: Diamond Ranch Diamondbacks 2011 preview

Bottom line: Playing out-of-state teams and in-state junior varsity teams the past few years, Diamond Ranch has actually done pretty well. Whether that translates over to the varsity level remains to be seen. There are enough quality athletes on this team that it should compete near the middle of 1A this year, and perhaps near the top of 1A if the offensive line comes together. Regardless, the school is thrilled to be playing real, meaningful games.
