BY BRANT PARSONS

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

Last season: Columbus earned district IBT title number three in the past three years with a commanding performance. The district was tightly bunched from #2-4, but the Explorers outshone them all.

How did Kabra do?: We picked Columbus to win under coach Grant and they proved us right.

Last year’s district tournament results

Last year’s region tournament results

Wrestlers to watch:

The favorite: Columbus. The Explorers have top-end talent who will look to move up the state podium and they have depth to put a talented wrestler on the mat at near every weight.

Team to watch: Doral Academy. Some Firebird wrestlers have spent the offseason making a name for themselves.
