p.s. I see he's on the latest rankings at #4! Thanks fellas. Also, his name has a typo. It's "Levendusky" not "Lavendusky." Thanks again.

Haha I guess I missed the year of the thread & ranking! Oops. Thanks for pointing that out and sorry. This isn't Reese by the way, it's one of his coaches. We know on one hand rankings don't matter and he probably cares less than anyone. We talk about that often. That said, recognition is nice when a kid is deserving and rankings really need to be well-researched and accurate. I'm actually on ranking committees for both FloWrestling and USA Wrestling for HS, college & senior level rankings. It's very hard, thankless work. We lament how easy the top 5 is on one hand, but how hard 6-10 can be on the other hand, so I can appreciate the comment that below the top few it can be messy *and* I'm appreciative of anyone willing to work on this. That said, considering the names on this season's rankings since preseason, Reese is well-deserving to be among them as he has head to heads over some guys on the list, and he did enough last year to warrant attention with a 30-7 final record, section title, and solid matches at State. That said, just wanted a platform to give feedback and advocate for one of ours, so there it is! Thanks again guys.

Reese Levendusky from Montgomery Central is being overlooked at 132 for the TSSAA A Rankings. He's 24-1 on the season and has head to heads against #2 Carter Cisco and #6 Jordan Gainey. He was the Section 4 Class A champ last year and beat Cisco in the semis of that event. He beat Gainey last year by fall and beat him again last weekend by first period fall in the finals of the Bruise Brothers Brawl in Springfield. In fact, Levendusky scored a first period fall in every match last weekend. His only loss this year is a major decision to returning state medalist Russell Ford. Every other win he has this year is a bonus win (major or fall). His only losses at State last year were to two state medalists. One of the matches was a 6-3 loss in a highly competitive match with #4 (at 138) Cooper Johnson. Please make sure Reese is on your radar for the next ranking. Thank you!

Does anyone know who creates these rankings? I'd like to send some feedback along but it's been a mystery where to reach out. Thanks for anyone who can help!
