Wrestlers to watch: Ryan Rojo, 8th (Miami Christian); Adrian Rojas, 8th (Miami Christian); Parker Young, 8th (True North); Jason Goff, 8th (Florida Christian); Willie'd White, So. (SLAM Miami); Lucas Santiago, So. (True North); Tristan Eril-Coto, So. (SLAM Miami); Braeden Silva, Jr. (Florida Christian); Miguel Ramirez, Jr. (SLAM Miami); Hamari Abraham, So. (SLAM Miami); Lucas Centeno, So. (Florida Christian).

The favorite: Florida Christian. The Patriots move into the district with a huge amount returning talent in the room.

Team to watch: True North. The Titans return the second highest number of wrestlers and that depth should have them competing in both of the district races.
