Now comes the biggest part of the season.
Great Bend High School entertains arch-rival Hays on Friday night in a key Western Athletic Conference football game.
Kickoff is set for 7 at Memorial Stadium.
It will be the WAC finale and Class 5A District 6 opener for both of the 5-1 teams.
Hays leads the WAC with a 3-0 record, and Great Bend is 2-1. The Panthers need a win over Hays to capture a share of the conference crown, as well as momentum entering their final two district games.
