Panthers to Face Challenge from Wichita Carroll
Great Bend's football team, led by coach Erin Beck, is set to host Wichita Carroll in a second-round 5A playoff game at Memorial Stadium.
The Panthers have a history with Wichita Carroll, having won a state championship game berth in 2006 after defeating the Eagles 21-14. However, Carroll leads the all-time series 5-2.
"It's 5A West playoff time," said Great Bend football coach Erin Beck. "We're at the point where we'll have to play four quarters. Our kids are fresh and ready to go. The guys cranked it up in the weight room this week. They're getting stronger, which is a good sign."
Wichita Carroll's offense is run-oriented, with dual-threat quarterback John Corrigan and main backfield threat Cooper Herrman. Corrigan recently scored two touchdowns in the Eagles' 24-20 win over Derby.
The game is scheduled for Friday, with Great Bend looking to improve its 9-0 record against Wichita Carroll's 6-3 record.
