BY BRANT PARSONS

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

Last season: South Broward put it all together and won the district title by 17.5 points and then Illia Kyryianenko went and won a state title.

How did Kabra do?: We were wrong about a lot. We did pick South Broward as a team to watch, we also had them finishing in fifth.
