He became the third coach in South Bend history to reach 300 career wins, joining former Adams coach Dave Hadaway (315 wins) and Mark Johnson, who won a total of 470 games across stops at the now-defunct LaSalle, Riley and Saint Joseph. Hadaway — who the court at Adams High School is named after — was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000, and Johnson is surely on his way there as well.
Johnston has an overall record of 300-199. He won exactly 200 games at Washington from 2003-2017 and now 100 games in six-plus seasons with Adams. Johnston led the Panthers to a sectional championship in 2010 and the Eagles to one in 2022.
Three players reached double-figures in scoring for Adams Friday: Jarvis Tolbert with 19 points, Gerron Barr 15 and Amari Wesson 13. The Eagles improve to 7-8 overall and 4-2 in Northern Indiana Conference contests. They next play Thursday at Jimtown before returning home Saturday against Portage.
