Kevin Daskavitz's first two tournaments this season were the Class AA meet and the state qualifier. He won both. @StarpointWrest2's Griffin LaPlante was the only eighth-grader to win a D1 title and Wheatfield's Casey Robinson capitalized on a new rule.https://t.co/Zk7jMsccmN

PENDLETON - A difficult decision. An injury. For almost two years, Kevin Daskavitz was itching to get back on the wrestling mat. Now he's wrestling like he?s making up for lost time.

Uncertain if there was going to be a wrestling season last spring, Daskavitz opted to play baseball instead. When the season did proceed, he instantly missed wrestling. Excited to come back this season, a knee injury during a soccer game threatened to wipe out his second wrestling season in a row.


The Lockport junior poured his energy into rehabilitation and was able to come back just in time. His first action was the Section VI Class AA tournament, which he won. On Saturday, Daskavitz continued his comeback by blistering through the Section VI state qualifier, winning the Division I 2 15-pound bracket at Starpoint High School to improve to 6-0 this season and punch his first ticket to states.
