Clarkston softball will have a new softball coach this spring.
The Wolves named Melissa Smythe as their new coach, she takes over for Coach Katie Smith who stepped down after going 7-25 last season.
Clarkston has not been the same softball program since the pandemic. The Wolves are 21-44 in three seasons, something that Smythe needs to turn around.
Smythe was the junior varsity coach at Clarkston for two years and has been coaching softball for 12 years according to the press release.
"Melissa is looking forward to coaching Clarkston student athletes at the Varsity level and continuing the growth and development of the softball program while fostering a positive and supportive team culture" the press release said.
The Wolves will be in the Red with Division One runner up and arch rival Lake Orion, along with Oxford, North Farmington, Stoney Creek, Adams, Bloomfield Hills, and West Bloomfield. They will be in a district at Oxford that has Lake Orion, Oxford, Waterford Kettering, and Waterford Mott as well.
It will be really interesting to see what Smythe brings to Clarkston and can she be the one that turns the program around???
Here is the press release from X
