3A-9 Preview:
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: This district title race went down to the end and a big decider was Deacon Delong’s win at 190 pounds for eventual champion Kissimmee Osceola, who edged Harmony by 4.5 points.
How did Kabra do?: We did say this was going to be a great race for the team title, we just picked the wrong team to win it.
Last year’s district tournament results
Last year’s region tournament results
Wrestlers to watch:
The favorite:Harmony. This is not the same team that came close last year, but they do have some hammers to push them.
Team to watch:Orlando Freedom. Possibly the deepest team in the district.
George Jenkins Eagles
Coach: Gavin Osborn (8th season)
