Behind Teagan Canning, Brooks has risen from the depths of the ISL

One piece of advice often given to freshmen in high school is to enjoy the experience because it goes by fast.

Apparently, a lot can change as well.

In 2015, Teagan Canning was a freshman playing lacrosse at Brooks School in North Andover, Mass. She remembers the struggles the team had on the field. The team went 4-10 in her first season, with a 3-9 record in the Independent School League.

As a senior, Canning is preparing to play lacrosse in college while helping Brooks shoot up the standings, going from 11th in a 13-team league to fourth place after seven games, starting the 2018 season 5-2 overall and a competitive 4-2 in the ISL, the record blemished only by a pair of one-goal losses to top teams.
