Not since 2021 has a Lenawee County girls soccer team advanced out of districts in the MHSAA playoffs.

Lenawee Christian won a Division 4 district title three years ago, but perhaps this is the season the skid comes to an end with many area teams having strong seasons.

Here's a look at the district matchups for the Lenawee County teams:
