As the running back on the team that features the most prolific passer in Illinois High School Association history, Lincoln-Way East senior Brody Gish has learned a thing or two about patience.

The Navy recruit certainly knows how to make the most of his chances.

“I’ve got to take advantage of every opportunity I get,” Gish said. “I know I’m not always going to get too much. But definitely the pass is going to open up the run. I have to give credit to the pass game for making it easier for me and I want my runs to open up the pass game, too.”

Gish took on more of a starring role Friday night. He ran 22 times for 178 yards and a touchdown to lead the visiting Griffins to a 42-14 Southwest Valley Blue win over Homewood-Flossmoor.
