Crosstown rivalry ready to flare up at Thornton Sectional Semifinals.

Watch the live broadcast of the Thornton Sectional Semifinals in Harvey, pitting Marian Catholic High School vs. Bloom High School.

Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m., webcast live on High School Cube.

Catch up on the rivalry. Read a piece by veteran sports writer Pat Disabato, who writes: From strictly a local perspective, the semifinals at Thornton are dripping with intrigue. Chicago Heights neighbors Marian Catholic (26-2) and Bloom (20-8) square off Tuesday. Tyler Ulis, one of the best players in Southland history, leads Marian Catholic against one of the area’s most tradition-rich programs in Bloom. The added drama of neighborhood bragging rights — both schools share a Chicago Heights zip code — only elevates the intensity.
