Mark: Thanks for sharing Matt's stats from Week 1. I'm sure he'll be one to watch moving forward and perhaps a Patch MVP at some point, too.

Where is Bloom Township? Wouldn't think they are part of the Tinley Patch readers interest.

Where is Bloom Township? Really Mary? High school sports are a subject everyone can be interested in. Our basketball team made it to the final four last spring by beating teams such as those in your area.
