Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice has a fine baseball program this spring and our voters thought that we should take notice.
After a total of 308 votes cast this last week, Brother Rice baseball collected 68 votes (22.08%) to claim its spot as the winner of our Metro Detroit team of the week.
MLive.com's Jared Purcell will provide special coverage on Friday this week when Brother Rice hosts Catholic League Central foe Dearborn Divine Child.
At the event, Jared plans on having more than just game stories. We'll have special feature video with footage shot by players and coaches as well. Jared will also provide videos and photos of the event as well.
We want to show everyone a glimpse into what this team is all about and what makes them tick.
Brother Rice is currently enjoying a superb start with a 13-1 record and 11-1 in the Catholic High School League. It's only loss was a 6-5 decision to Divine Child in the first game of a double header back on April 6.
