Harry Carr guided the Crimson to an historic season. Under his guidance, the MBS boys golf team finished with a 19-3 record and won four major tournaments—the Prep B championship, the North Jersey Non-Public B title, the Morris County Golf Championship, and the K Golf Invitational. The Crimson finished No. 7 in the NJ.com final Top 10 poll. The Crimson also came within three strokes of winning a state title at the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions. They concluded the season with a third place finish at the North Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) championship at Flanders Valley Golf Course. “I knew we improved, but I never expected to have the season we did,” said Coach Carr. “It was unbelievable!” In addition to being the varsity golf coach for the past five years, Carr is also a former MBS parent.
