3A-7 Preview:

BY BRANT PARSONS

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

Last season: Bloomingdale fought off a charging pack led by Armwood to win the district title be 12.5 points.

How did Kabra do?: We picked the champs correctly but we definitely missed the boat on Armwood’s meteoric rise. We won’t make that mistake again.
