🚨 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓 🚨

#47 𝘿𝘼𝘾𝙀𝙔 𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙄𝙏𝙎 𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙇𝙊𝙊𝙈𝙎𝘽𝙐𝙍𝙂!

After watching him come within inches/seconds of pulling the biggest upset of the 2026 NYSPHSAA DI State tournament in March before ultimately dropping a 14-11 decision in the large school 165-pound main event to #5 in the nation 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐋𝐚𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 (St Francis; 4x State placer/3x finalist/2x Champion; 2025 S32 4th; 2024 NHSCA National Champion, etc)....

It would be an understatement to say that we are excited to see what our #47 overall Senior Big Boarder can/will achieve during the next 4-5 years as a member of the Huskies!!!

A late-"bloomer" (no pun intended) who continually demonstrated growth throughout his scholastic career as a Blue Streak (Saratoga Springs) student-athlete; Dacey went from not placing at the S2 championships as a freshman to being a state blood rounder as a sophomore in 2024; and then a back-to-back place-winner in Albany as an upperclassman!!

5th on South Pearl Street in 2024-2025 with his only blemishes coming at the hands of 𝐖𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 (Minisink Valley; 2x State Medalist/2026 Champion; 3x NHSCA AA) and 𝐑𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 (St. Francis; 2x State placer/2026 runner-up)...

Dacey returned to MVP Arena for the third straight Winter with a chip on his shoulder, as he was categorically unstoppable for much of the weekend in registering victories by way of :41 fall, 3:35 fall, and 9-2 decision during the Rounds of 16 thru semifinals against Islip's 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 (2026 State 8th; 2026 Suffolk 2nd), Watertown's 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐎𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐚 (2x S3 Champion), & 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬 (2026 State 6th;2x Nassau finalist/2026 Champion), of Bellmore-JFK to reach the 'ship as the third-seeded competitor in the bracket!!

His performance on the NYS DI stage reminiscent of how his banner swan song season played out as a whole...

Dacey would also pin his way to the hardware at the Windsor (after prior finishes of 6th and 3rd) and finished 2nd at his school's hosted event (losing only to nationally ranked, 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡 (2x Prep National All-American; 2023 PIAA 7th; 2x Fargo FS 5th; 2023 NHSCA 4th; 2025 Super 32 5th)!!

Renewing his rivalry with Ballston Spa's 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬 in a rematch of the 2025 Section finals; "Double-D" repeated as a S2 king when he TF the Scotties' 12th grader!

All in all amassing a 44-5 record; per CNYWrestling; Dacey's high school victory total was raised to 183 (183-46)!!

The second NYSPHSAA runner-up in a matter of weeks to volunteer his services to Huskies' Head Coach, 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙯𝙢𝙖𝙣; Dacey joins 157-pound DI silver medalist, 𝑮𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏 (Iona Prep), who announced his pledge on April 12th!
