BY JIM MISUNAS jmisunas@gbtribune.com When Great Bend outscored Buhler 33-22 in their first meeting, the Panthers' defense delivered two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Another high-scoring affair is certainly a possibility when Great Bend (7-2) visits Buhler (7-2) in Friday's 4A second-round playoff matchup. "I was glad the way we responded like week," said Great Bend coach Erin Beck. "We got back to playing our style of football." In the first Buhler meeting, Alec Premer and Cooper Ohnmacht caught touchdown passes from Maxson Smiley, who threw for 275 yards in rainy weather. Ohnmach returned an interception for a game-clinching touchdown. Beck believes Buhler will focus coverage against Ohnmacht. Premer, tight end Kale Kern and Jaxon Wondra will be other primary passing targets. Panther Gavin Wondra created an early fumble against Buhler's Landon Martinez, who has rushed for 1,477 yards with 22 touchdowns. Martinez rushed for 202 yards and Buhler passed for 164 yards in the first meeting. "Martinez is effective behind their physical offensive line," Beck said. "He's shifty and fast in the open field. He runs hard and is patient when he needs to be. Buhler prides themselves on running the football and they'll throw the deep ball." Buhler's defense has been effective down the stretch. "Their defense is playing with a lot of confidence," Beck said. "Buhler coach Steve Warner has seen multiple teams a second time. We'll get their best shot on their home field."
