Morris County stock jumped this week when Morris Knolls and Morristown-Beard both jumped up due to Knolls’ 3-2 win over Randolph. It’s an intriguing week of games in the public-school ranks, with the MCSSIHL Mennen and Central Red titles on the line this week. Non-Gordon privates will also get some action when unbeaten Notre Dame (15-0) takes on Bishop Eustace and St. Augustine Prep at the end of the week. Lest you forget, Indian Hills remains the state’s other unbeaten at 13-0-6.
