Highlights: At Clarks Summit, Luis Garcia scored on a drive with 18 seconds remaining, then made a free throw with seven seconds left and the Saints held on for the non-league win, their third on the road in three days.

The game subsequently was forfeited by Berks Catholic due to violating PIAA rules. Abington Heights will receive a victory.

Saints head coach Snip Esterly, who was serving a one-game suspension, was in the building, which is a violation of PIAA rules.

Trailing 24-18, the Comets held the Saints to two third-quarter points to take a 27-26 lead entering the final quarter. Luke Painton had a big putback down the stretch for the Saints (7-2) before Garcia's layup put the Saints up for good.

Abington Heights missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Garcia led Berks Catholic with 17 points. George Tinsley had 17 for the Comets.
