Randolph took a big step up this week, beating Morristown-Beard 4-1, West Essex 4-0, and St. Joseph’s Metuchen 4-0 to ascend to the No. 7 spot, just behind the six oligarchs trading punches atop the rankings. The Central Conference is beating itself up, with the top five Red Division teams and Ridge battling it out. Their battling helped unbeaten Pope John move into the Top 10 for the first time. Hopewell Valley took out WWPN, while St. Augustine stepped atop the Southern Red, opening the door for Morris Knolls to return to the Top 20.
