METHUEN — St. John's Prep's Rawson Iwanicki of Andover is one very confident freshman, so much so that some might call him cocky.

Beau Dillon scored a pin in 0:08 at 220 pounds, and Salem edged Windham 36-30.

Key wins for the Warriors were by Theo Krueger at 126, Connor Sheehan at 182 and heavyweight AJ Heidtke who avenged a personal loss with a 10-0 major decision.
