By JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com Great Bend's 7-6 non-league football victory over Wichita East illustrated the value of a kicker. Panther kicker Dani Franco converted the Panthers’ extra-point and Blake Penka blocked an extra point by Wichita East kicker Nick Navarro. Navarro missed a 50-yard field goal in the final minute that ended a six-hour marathon Friday.
