Timberlane tuned up for Thursday's showdown at North Andover with a 78-3 rout of Manchester Central. John Leavitt had a 13-second pin at 126 for the Owls (5-0).

Timberlane, as expected, is flexing its muscles in the middle weights. In a quad-meet sweep of Phillips Exeter, Framingham and Noble, Maine, Connor McGonagle, Antonio Pallaria and Nick Pallaria all had three pins from 138 to 152 pounds. One of Nick Pallaria's pins was over Maine state champ Sam Martel.
