2A-10 Preview: Deep team race brings intrigue to the district race
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: With a wide-open race for the title, Hollins came out on top for their first IBT district title since 2022. The top three teams in the district all scored over 208 points.
How did Kabra do?: We were right on target at the top but we missed out on predicting Pinellas Park’s rise.
