There will be new leaders emerging in the Lenawee County softball scene.
Clinton's Kendall Phillip is now at Michigan Dearborn, Blissfield's Bella Treloar is at Alma and Clinton coach Kim Phillip stepped down after 12 years as head coach and seven as an assistant under Al Roberts to watch her kids play at the college softball and high school baseball level.
Here's a look at the headlines going into the new season:
New leaders coming
Phillip has moved on after repeating as Lenawee County Softball Player of the Year as has Lenawee County Pitcher of the Year in Treloar.
There were many other First Team All-County members who also graduated, but there still a few looking to take the titles.
Clinton senior Taryn Hernandez is one to watch for as she has the ability to take either title this season. She'll be looking to lead the Redwolves as they transition to a new head coach Lisa Roberts along with First Team All-County member, junior Annabelle Preston, sophomore second-teamer Kaylin Sposite, senior honorable mention Raven Aldridge and sophomore honorable mention Lola Szczesniak.
Hudson has a big group of returners to challenge Clinton in the LCAA. Leading the Tigers will be junior Taylor Kopin, who was a First Team All-County selection a year ago.
Returning alongside Kopin is a group of honorable mentions looking to take a step up with sophomore Ryen Rogers, juniors Sam Anderson and Brooke Clark and seniors Teagan Arredondo and Malia Grayer.
In the TCC, Sand Creek has senior Madeline Osburn returning as the Aggies' First Team All-County member while Makenna Wheeler is back as another senior leader who earned second team honors, as did junior Lily Hawkins.
When talking about the TCC, Morenci always come to mind as well and the Bulldogs have returning First Team All-County member, senior Zoey Martinez.

Jessica McNett is now leading in Addison while Stacy Johnson takes charge of BD, Roberts in Clinton and Randy Hutchinson in Onsted.
