3A-9 Preview:

BY BRANT PARSONS

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

Last season: Harmony just had too many weapons to win a tight district for the Longhorns’ eighth-straight title.

How did Kabra do?: This was an easy pick last year with Harmony being so loaded, but we also picked the runner-up Orlando Freedom.

Wrestlers to watch:

The favorite: Harmony. Oh boy this is going to be good. We know more about the Longhorns, so maybe there’s a knowledge bias here.

Team to watch: Kissimmee Osceola. All the Kowboys do is win, but they’ll have to really earn it in this tight race.
