Seems like some familiar faces at different places.Bettendorf is ranked No. 1 with Iowa City West and Waverly-Shell Rock. Won't it be fun when all three are in Cedar Rapids for the 5 Season Duals, assuming they are still in the field.The Gazette area's highest ranked wrestler is Conner Herman, who is ranked second at 215 pounds behind Johnston's Joe Scanlan. Herman placed sixth last year at Hwt. and is dropping down a class.Below is the complete list of rankings:
