beat pete: 'Beat Pete' comes to a close for the season, but Saline and Father Gabriel Richard forge on

Dry those tears everyone. As many a sap have written in high school yearbooks through the years: Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Over the past 11 weeks 540 times the readers have “Beat Pete”, including 17 last week who had to be perfect to beat my 3-1 picks record. As I’ve been reminded of many times over the past 11 weeks, perfection is never outside the realm of possibility when dealing with you, the all knowing readers.

Be sure to check out Kyle Austin’s previews of Saline’s matchup against defending Division 1 state champion Detroit Cass Tech and Father Gabriel Richard’s game against undefeated River Rouge and vote in AnnArbor.com’s interactive polls to weigh in on who you think will win.

Both are home games and being played on different days (Saline at 7 p.m. on Friday, Richard at 1 p.m. on Saturday), so be sure to go out and support the local teams and vote in our online interactive polls at AnnArbor.com.

Thanks for another great season everyone. See you on the hardwood!
