Coach Ed Heintschel collected his 600th career victory today before a sold-out home crowd of over 1,800 as St. John’s Jesuit captured a 68-56 win over Central Catholic in Three Rivers Athletic Conference boys basketball.

Guards Austin Gardner and Anthony Glover paced the ninth-ranked Titans with 24 and 17 points, respectively, and 6-foot-8 Ohio State-bound senior forward Marc Lovings added 11 points and 11 rebounds as St. John’s moved to 11-3 overall and 6-1 in the TRAC.
