G1A-2 Preview: Could there be a new district champion here this year?
Kabra Wrestling Rankings are updated every week all season long for Kabra+ members.
Last season: Westside won another district title, outscoring runner-up Ed White by 30 points.
How did Kabra do?: We listed Westside as the favorite, but took a shot at picking Oakleaf, who finished sixth.
Last year’s district tournament results
Last year’s region tournament results
Wrestlers to watch: Josie Raulerson (Columbia), Sara Goodman (Sandalwood)
The favorite: Ed White. We think there will be a new district champion here this season, the Commanders were runners-up a year ago.
Team to watch: Columbia. If they added some depth around the three main returners, they’ll be a team to look for.
District IBT: February 12 at Westside

What they’re saying: “The good part is, when I teach technique to the girls, they pick it up the first time.They pick up things faster in terms of the understanding. So even the freshmen, I explained it once or twice, they understand it.”
