Gateway’s Patrick Body picks up a first down past Peters Twp.’s Corban Hondru during the WPIAL Class 5A championship game Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, at Norwin High School.
Gateway sophomore Patrick Body made two of the Gators’ most important catches in the playoffs and was rewarded this week with his first Division I college offer.
Body announced an offer from William & Mary.
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound wide receiver and defensive back played a key role in Gateway winning the WPIAL Class 5A title this season. Body caught a 28-yard game-winning touchdown with 38 seconds left to defeat Bethel Park, 17-13, in the WPIAL quarterfinals.
