3A-6 Preview:
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: Business as usual continued for Palm Harbor University, who won its sixth straight IBT title, but this one was closer with East Lake, Land O’ Lakes, and Steinbrenner giving valiant chase.
How did Kabra do?: We went with our instinct to pick PHU to continue their district dominance but East Lake certainly proved Kabra wrong in finishing second.
Last year’s district tournament results
Last year’s region tournament results
Wrestlers to watch:
The favorite:Palm Harbor University. 10 of the 13 wrestlers from last season’s postseason roster are back as the Hurricanes go for No. 7 straight.
Team to watch:East Lake. With nine starters back and wrestlers ready to fill in some roles, the Eagles should be in the hunt.
Orlando Freedom Patriots
Coach: David Bush (15th season)
