Penalty kick does it
After losing a 1-0 halftime lead, with BB&N scoring two quick goals, Brooks stormed back for a 3-2 win, thanks to a penalty kick by Andover's Marina Moschitto with eight minutes left. She got the kick after Amelia Hammerl, who scored the first two Brooks goals, was taken down in the goalie box.

Huge upset

After opening the season with two straight losses, the Brooks boys soccer team needed a boost and they got it yesterday with a 2-1 win over BB&N, the defending Independent School League champion and a Prep Class A finalist. "This was an enormous upset," said Brooks coach Dusty Richard. "They only lost one player from last year." Ayo Awuagwu had a goal and an assist for Brooks and Ryan Daley also scored. Andreas Burbank-Crump of North Andover was superb on defense and goalie Glen Martin shined while making 12 saves.

NORTH ANDOVER — It wasn’t the start that Brooks wanted for the beginning of the Alex Konovalchik era.

Playing in its first ever night game, Brooks stayed close through the first half before BB&N opened the game up with three scores in the third quarter and cruised to a 42-13 win at North Andover High’s Walsh Field.

Chapin Duke fired a shot off a corner that was tipped in by Elizabeth Saltonstall with 12:01 left in the second half to give Brooks a 1-0 win over BB&N. It was Saltonstall's first goal of the season.

Brooks Baseball and the Knights from BBN hooked up in what was a top notch high school baseball game.

Juniors Jolmi Minaya and Lamarre Rey teamed up to produce a triumphant day for the Pingree School baseball team yesterday.
