1. Bloom (21-3): Bloom’s balance was on display in a 59-52 victory over Rich South. Donald Moore scored 22 points. L.J. Johnson had 13 and Johnny Griffin chipped in nine. The Blazing Trojans look to take undisputed possession of the Southland Athletic Conference crown in a 6:30 p.m. game at Crete-Monee tonight.

2. Andrew (20-1): Jubril Adekoya set the T-Bolts’ single-season rebounding record in a 53-43 victory over Sandburg at the Thunderdome. He boosted his total to 230 heading into a 6 p.m. game today at Thornridge. Keep an eye on the status of Andrew’s Glorind Lisha. He was limping on a bum ankle after taking a spill vs. the Eagles.

3. Marist (21-5): Tyler Oden rained down a 3-ball and the RedHawks went on a 20-4 second half run to pull away from Marian Catholic 56-45. Nic Weishar scored 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. L.J. McIntosh chipped in 11 points. Marist plays host to Benet Academy at 7:30 tonight.

4. Homewood-Flossmoor (17-6): Tim Williams snared 10 of his 12 rebounds in the second half of the Vikings’ 54-49 victory over Bolingbrook. He also scored 11 points in a double-trouble performance that left the Raiders reeling. Tyrone Sherman added 16 points. The two stand at the head of a Viking senior class that will be recognized as part of the festivities tonight vs. Sandburg. Tip-off is at 7.

5. Sandburg (12-10): Nick Lehnerer scored 10 of his 12 points in the first half of the Eagles’ 53-43 loss to Andrew. He was limited to one shot in the second half, in part because Sandburg was pounding the ball down low to Ken Payonk and Joe Kuligoski. The Eagles, after having a three-game win streak snapped, look to get back on track vs. Homewood-Flossmoor tonight, but it won’t be easy going on the road again.
