JOHNSTOWN - The weekly Region 3 coaches' poll was announced on Tuesday morning. This week's top five are the same as last week's quintet: Monroe, Adirondack, FM, Jamestown, and Niagara.

Region 3's volleyball lineup consists of 18 teams from three conferences. The #3-ranked Lady Raiders are in an elite group. FM's current season record is 10-1. Their only loss to date was to #2-ranked Adirondack in FM's first match of the season.

This coming Saturday will bring a great opportunity for the FM Six. They will meet #1 Monroe (17-0) in pod play hosted by Monroe. FM will also meet Finger Lakes (10-10) and Corning (11-7) later in the day.
