Kayla Kane of Utica High was one of five players who signed national softball letters of intent with Detroit Mercy, Lady Titans coach Liz Young said. Kane can play anywhere in the field and can add depth behind the plate.  She had a .350 batting average in 2012 with Utica and was named all-conference and all-district.  “She has a hunger to play the game well,” said Young.  “She has a selfless, team-first attitude and she will be a force anywhere we put her.

"The 2013 class will bring a work ethic, mentality and passion that will fit right in with what we believe,” said Young.  “They will challenge the upperclassmen and will help fortify our defense. With a great attitude and our strong upperclassmen leadership, this class is bound to leave a legacy."

Taylor Moceri of Stevenson will continue her softball career at Saginaw Valley State, Stevenson athletic director Chad Hottle said.

Amy Coffin of Stevenson will sign a letter of intent Dec. 7 to play volleyball at Macomb Community College, Stevenson athletic director Chad Hottle said.
