Reader’s choice: Kabra Wrestling’s Wrestler of the Week
BY BRANT PARSONS — All season long, Kabra Wrestling will be letting you pick a wrestler to earn the honor of being “Wrestler of the Week.”
Each week, we will ask coaches for nominations and then a select committee will pick wrestlers from the nominations to be voted on.
Readers will be able to vote for both a boys and girls wrestler. The winner will be announced on Wednesdays on Kabra Wrestling and each winner will receive a keychain to commemorate their choice.
For the first week of girls competition, we have picked the nominations from the two events. Voting will close Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
