We are once again compiling #TheSeason recaps.
We will sweep through each district, one at a time, until all 100 teams are completed. Our next district in rotation was 2A-District 4 and the final team left to do was its champion, New Smyrna Beach. Records are as compiled from Trackwrestling, as all events were reported there.
