By JIM MISUNASjmisunas@gbtribune.com POST-SEASON BOUND By JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com Great Bend’s football team is playoff-bound for the first time since 2010, thanks to a opportunistic defense. Thomas Bobbitt and Dominique Rideaux scored defensive touchdowns and the Panthers broke a Salina jinx by crushing Salina Central 57-38 Friday to qualify for the Class 5A playoffs for the first time since 2010. The Panthers travel to Salina South (5-3, 2-0) for the Class 5A, District 6 title next week.
