3A-5 Preview:
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: The ride to the top was realized for a George Jenkins team that won its first district title since 2016.
How did Kabra do?: Our 1-2 punch of picks made us look smart, the rest, we may have been a bit off on.
Last year’s district tournament results
Last year’s region tournament results
Wrestlers to watch:
The favorite: George Jenkins. After breaking through for a district title last season, this year’s edition may be even better.
Team to watch: Plant City. Returning 11 of 13 starters, the Raiders should also pull away from the pack.
