COLUMBUS – For a fifth consecutive week the Franklin Monroe boys soccer team remained No. 3 in the Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association rankings.
Franklin Monroe is third in Division III in the MVSSCA poll behind Greeneview and Dayton Christian. The third-place ranking matches a season best for the Jets, who also were ranked third in the first MVSSCA poll of the season and fourth in the second poll before settling in at No. 3 the past five weeks.
