First Evers for High School's

I thought it would be cool to list a bunch of first time ever’s for high schools in the wrestling world as the state continues to grow with new wrestling programs each year and the amount of high school wrestlers growing each year.  Some of the ISD’s with wrestling like Corpus Christi have had wrestling for several years now but are just now growing into popularity as they have state champs in boys and girls now.  I sure there is a lot more first then listed, these were just a few.
Enjoy
