2A-9 Preview:
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season:
How did Kabra do?:
Last year’s district tournament results
Last year’s region tournament results
Wrestlers to watch:
The favorite: Braden River. The team is deep with experience and should take home the title if some develop into big point scorers.
Team to watch: Manatee. They graduated six state qualifiers from a year ago but have a well-seasoned group moving up from JV. How quickly they adjust to the varsity level will dictate Manatee’s success this season.
Braden River Pirates
Coach: Cezar Sharbono (8th at school/11th as head coach)
