Franklin Monroe boys soccer team ends up No. 3 in Miami Valley rankings

0

COLUMBUS – The Franklin Monroe boys soccer team finished No. 3 in the final Miami Valley Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association poll of the 2015 season.

The Franklin Monroe boys are ranked third in Division III in the Miami Valley rankings 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 six weeks.

For a fourth consecutive week the Franklin Monroe boys are not ranked in the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association state poll, which also released its final rankings of the season this week. The Jets have been ranked in two of this season’s eight state polls with a season-best of No. 10 in the first poll of the year.

The Franklin Monroe boys soccer team is the only Darke County team ranked in either the local or state soccer rankings.

The Greater Western Ohio Conference’s Beavercreek boys are ranked fifth in the Division I state rankings, and the GWOC’s Vandalia-Butler boys also received votes in Division I.

The GWOC’s Springboro girls are fourth in the Division I state rankings, and the Lebanon girls from the GWOC are ranked ninth in Division I.
