Whiteford’s softball team will start the season as the No. 2 ranked team in Division 4, according to the pre-season Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association poll.

The Bobcats finished as the Division 4 runner-up last season with a 33-7 overall record.

The Bobcats have seven returning starters, but three of those will be playing new positions when the season kicks off Tuesday with a doubleheader at Addison.
