Diamond Ranch HS defensive end Josh Buchholz (DE/2014) will be on many college recruiting lists next season. Buchholz stands 6'4" 250 and displays the type of athleticism that college coaches desire.

Arizona State has already started to show interest in Buchholz. "A lot of interest from ASU. They said I play like the d-end that they're looking for and to just keep up what I'm doing and they will have no problem taking me," the junior Buchholz told CLA Sports today.

So far, this has got to be one of our biggest games of the season. Tonight we go against back-to-back CIF Champions, West Covina. This week we tried to have a championship style practice because in order to beat a champion, you have to train & practice like one.

We have all our starters back, healthy & ready to pound every play. Mentally, we've gotten prepared by focusing a lot on how they run the Wing-T offense. Tonight is going to be all about our defense going against their offense.

This week we take on Lake Elsinore. We play on a Thursday due to their schedule, but either way it doesn't stop us at all from preparing for what they're bringing. We've studied the way they run their Wing T offense & watched carefully on each position that is critical to their type of offense.

The first few weeks of the season have been great. My team is on a 2 game win streak and I'm leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. I'm also tied for receiving touchdowns. Arizona State, Colorado & Fresno State are a few of the schools that I have talked to so far. Hopefully one of them offers me by the end of the season.... Our week 3 matchup is vs Elsinore. They are a tough team, but I know we have the talent to beat them.

Practice this week has been a little off but we still maintain the mental focus for the game against El Rancho. This is the first time that Diamond Ranch will play El Rancho. Watching film, we noticed that their quarterback is one of their main threats, which made practice a lot of more getting used to the option and quarterback run.

Since freshman year of high school I've been scouted by over 47 different schools, including some Pac-12 schools. Over the summer, my team and I worked every day non-stop to prepare for the season. I worked on building my speed, strength and agility to fly off the ball on defense and make tackles, and get off the ball and make pancakes on offense. So far, the hard work has paid off tremendously, as it has showed in week one against Chino.

Practice tempo has been hyped ALL WEEK. We've prepared to come out against Chino with a hard push up front in the trenches with both our offense & defensive line. Last year we suffered a lost to Chino for our first game.

Then getting knocked out in the 2nd Round of Playoffs by Muir High School. This time, our team mentality is going ALL OUT & giving it your all. Now that it's my junior year, I'm trying my best to lead my team with a hype mentality but a humble heart as well. We all worked so hard ever since the off season, now tomorrow will determine which team wants it more.

Diamond Ranch High School's varsity football team is loaded with talent for the upcoming 2012-2013 season. The list of top recruits from Diamond Ranch include a trio of sophomores, with Kammy Delp (DE/2014), Josh Buckholz (DE/2014) and Matt Preston (LB/2014) leading the way.

College Level Athletes caught up with 6'4" 275 upcoming junior Kammy Delp after yesterday's UCLA camp, and he shared his thoughts with us.

"There were about 6, including me. The ones who were there were Poasi Moala, CJ, Sunia Kafovalu, Damien Mama and Viane Talamaivao," Delp said.
