Marist's three-point dynamo Tyler Oden did some of his best work during the RedHawks' magical boys basketball postseason run. He outpolled six others to earn Patch MVP honors, too. Now, he is eligible for March Patch Athlete of the Month recognition.

Bloom remains undefeated and sits atop the weekly Patch Power Rankings in boys basketball. Marist, Homewood-Flossmoor and Andrew are off to great starts, too.
1. Bloom (7-0): The Bulls had MJ. The Blazing Trojans have LJ. Lejavius Johnson has emerged as a sparkplug for a Bloom team that puts its undefeated record on the line in a home game Saturday vs. Leo. 2. Marist (7-1): L.J. McIntosh scored 20 points in a 63-51 victory over Rich South. And it’s a good thing, too. The RedHawks won despite allowing the Stars to snare 18 offensive rebounds. Coach Gene Nolan was not happy about that. 3. Homewood-Flossmoor (5-2): Vikings play host to Southwest Suburban Blue rival Lincoln-Way East tonight, then turn their attention toward the Proviso West Holiday tournament. Yes, it's time for Delvon Rencher to shine. 4. Andrew (5-0): The T-Bolts have a chance to finish the year with a bang. First, they meet …
