After another fun week of the high school football season, it’s time to look back on the best performances.
Read about the players who stood out last week and let us know who you think should be the Morris/Sussex Player of the Week in the poll at the bottom of this page.
Voting closes at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Andrew Baker
Sussex Tech running back
Baker ran 22 times for 174 yards and four touchdowns in a 43-26 victory for the Fighting Mustangs over Kinnelon. Baker found the end zone in all four quarters, including a five-yard run to build a 15-0 first quarter lead and a 12-yard run for a 29-6 halftime advantage.
