2A-4 Preview:

BY BRANT PARSONS

Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.

Last season: New Smyrna Beach had a huge season, winning the IBT district title and then had two wrestlers finish on top of the podium in Kissimmee. Jonathan Bruner and Kyle Nilsson were the first state champions for the school since 1998 as the Barracudas finished seventh in the state.

How did Kabra do?: We picked Winter Springs to win and said that New Smyrna Beach should make a run at the top. The Bears did win the district duals title, but Kabra came up short on seeing just how great a season that NSB would have.
