Outlook: Although Diamond Ranch was able to win 7 games last year (forfeits cost them five victories), the Panthers had to deal with a number of injuries. As a result, many juniors saw action as starters and that experience should prove valuable this season. Since it's pretty unlikely for a repeat of last year's issues, it should be expected for Diamond Ranch to be a solid threat in the Miramonte League and in the Southern Section Southeast Division.
