12 matches we could see this weekend
BY BRANT PARSONS — The 2025-2026 Florida high school wrestling season kicks off this weekend with four girls events across the state.
We’ve combed through Kabra Wrestling’s rankings and spent some time studying each tournament. Here are 12 matches we think fans would like to see sandwiched around their Turkey Day.
And while there are no guarantee each wrestler for each team will compete, or that they will be at Kabra’s listed weights (which is a bigger if this early in the season), we would be excited if these matches took place.
