We are once again compiling #TheSeason recaps.

We will sweep through each district, one at a time, until all 100 teams are completed. Our final district to complete is 1A-District 4 and the next-to-last team to recap is Keystone Heights. Records are as compiled; though we were not missing more than one dual, some significant adjustments were required to mesh with what was reported to the district IBT host.

We are once again compiling #TheSeason recaps.

We have three teams left to complete. First up in 2A-District 1 is Arnold. Records are as compiled from stats throughout the season; we were missing two duals and slight adjustments were needed for a few post-season wrestlers. Asterisks will be needed for those who did not compete in the post-season, to reflect a partially-incomplete status.
