Junior Jon Rheaume and senior Alex Lira both had first-minute pins and picked up their 100th career wins as Salem (13-6) stunner Nashua North 50-27. Ryan Bolduc (113) and Ryan Decker (182) both had pivotal wins that will help in their seeding for the Division 1 tournament.

It took a bunch of big overtime efforts but Salem finally downed Manchester West, 84-79 in two extra sessions. Danny Salvo (eight points) drew a timely charge in the first overtime, Jonny Klecan (19 points, 10 assists, 10 of 13 from the foul line in OT) put the Blue Devils on top, Steve Nugent's putback made it a two-possession game and Ben Slepian (26 points) locked up the win with big 3-pointers and a pair of late free throws.

Emily Rose poured in a season-high 21 points to lead Timberlane girls basketball 66-54 over Salem. 

With Timberlane riding state title efforts from the long-distance duo of Hannah Kimball and Katerine Estep and Pinkerton riding loads of point-scoring contributors, the two school tied for third place in the Division 1 state championships at Dartmouth College.
