1A-2 Preview: History making Florida High searching for more silverware
Florida High’s second state champion in school history is back to try to become the first two-time champion. Jasper Croom capped off a perfect 50-0 season with a state crown last year and he’s a favorite to repeat.
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: Florida High made school history, winning their first district title with a big performance. On the duals side, Wakulla topped Suwannee for the crown.
How did Kabra do?: We picked the Seminoles to win their first district title and they got the win to prove us right. The rest of our picks were just slightly off.

Wrestlers to watch:
The favorite: Florida High. Along with winning the school’s first title, the Seminoles bring back the most in the district with up to 10 possible wrestlers back in the lineup.
Team to watch: Suwannee. There will be a few holes to fill with just 56.8% of points possibly coming back, but we expect a challenge for the top from the Bulldogs.
