Team High Class took on Eleven Twenty-Two in the men's intramural floor hockey playoffs Wednesday in the Student Recreation Fitness Center. Though the game seemed to promise a competitive game, Eleven Twenty-Two breezed to a 10-1 victory.
Eleven Twenty-Two isn't just a random number. It's the address of the team members' house at 1122 Ohio St., where the team practices for intramural floor hockey. Practice paid off Wednesday, and Eleven Twenty-Two came out ready to play, with Dan Triemert, Overland Park freshman, scoring easily to start the game.
For the rest of the first period, the action was back and forth as both teams dived, smashed sticks and managed to bump into each other plenty. Eleven Twenty-Two's Sammy Dorf, Chicago sophomore, scored late in the first period, making it 2-0 at the break.
Dorf opened the second period with another score, assisted by a pass straight out of The Mighty Ducks.
"That's going to be on the highlight reel," his teammates yelled from the bench.
Dorf and other members of Eleven Twenty-Two followed with three more goals before the period ended, bringing the score to 6-0 at the end of the second period. Eleven Twenty-Two's goalie, Overland Park sophomore Mike Schwartz earned his teammates' praise for allowing nothing past him.
Fans, a rarity at most intramural games, showed up during the second period to support Eleven Twenty-Two, and they also commented on Schwartz's outstanding performance.
"Their goalie is the man," said Chris Martin, Leawood freshman and former ice hockey teammate of Schwartz and Triemert.
Eleven Twenty-Two put two more points on the board at the start of the third period before Team High Class finally found an answer. With a few minutes left in the period, Team High Class's Zach Friedlander, Chicago freshman, scored, putting up his team's first point to make the score 8-1.
Members of Eleven Twenty-
Two good-naturely razzed
Schwartz for allowing the goal.
Shouts of "You're losing your
touch!" came from the crowd.
Eleven Twenty-Two answered with a goal a few seconds later, then added another for good measure, making the final score 10-1. Martin and other fans supporting the team joked around about the victory.
Winning a playoff game isn't where the team's ambition ends, though.
"We worked hard, and our effort really paid off," Dorf said. "We won't be happy until we win the championship." All team members echoed this sentiment.
Championship games for intramural volleyball and floor hockey will be Monday, Nov. 22, starting at 8:10 p.m. at the rec center.

SCHEDULE: Big 12 tough
CONTINUED FROM 12A
Joseph's had standout guards Jamee Nelson and Delonte West, but still expect a fight out of coach Phil Martelli's team. St. Joe's started off last season 27-0, going undefeated in the regular season, and won't want to lose its first game of this year. Guard Pat Carroll, who led the Atlantic 10 Conference in three-point shooting, has a separated shoulder but might recover in time to take the court against Kansas. Nov. 29, home vs. Nevada
The Jayhawks will look for some revenge after last season's disappointing 75-61 loss against the Wolfpack at the Dodge Holiday Classic in Reno, Nev. First-year coach Mark Fox will look to build on last season's success. Nevada defeated Michigan State and Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16 before falling to Georgia Tech last season. Dec. 4 home vs. Pacific
A rematch of last year's second-round NCAA matchup that Kansas won, 78-63. Coach Bob Thomason complained last season about having to play Kansas so close to home in Kansas City, Mo. Allen Fieldhouse shouldn't be any kinder.
Jan. 1, home vs. Georgia Tech
This looks to be the best home
match-up of the year. Not only did Tech defeat Kansas 79-71 in the Elite Eight last season, but the Yellow Jackets are ranked No. 3 in the country in the preseason polls. If Kansas takes care of business in its early-season home games, this could be a nationally televised 1-2 match-up with Kansas looking for payback. Jan. 9, away vs. Kentucky
Traveling to tradition-rich Rupp Arena just one week after the Georgia Tech match-up should be a challenge for the Jayhawks. Jan 23, 2012 Willem
Jan. 22, away vs. Villanova
With a capacity of more than 20,000 in Philadelphia, the Wachovia Center will be a tough venue Kansas as it takes on an improving Villanova team. Second-year coach Five starters return from a team that finished 18-17 last year.
Jan. 29, home vs. Texas
Texas and Kansas always provide an entertaining game. Many Kansas fans remember forward Nick Collison's 24-point, 23-rebound effort two seasons ago against the Longhorns in a 90-87 Jayhawk victory. Jan 31 home 15
Jan. 29, home vs. Texas
Just two days later, Kansas will take center stage on ESPN's Big Monday against Quin Snyder's Missouri squad. The
Jan. 31, home vs. Missouri
Tigers return only two starters from last season — guard Jason Conley and forward Linas Kleiza — but with the emotion of this rivalry, the game could still depend on the final minutes.
Feb. 27, home vs. Oklahoma State
These teams could match up with the Big 12 Conference title on the line. The Cowboys return all-Big 12 first team selections guard John Lucas and forward Joey Graham from last season's Final Four team. Coach Eddie Sutton's team defeated Kansas 80-60 in Stillwater, Okla., last season.
March 2, home vs. Kansas State
For the sixth consecutive season, Kansas will finish its schedule with a game against Mizzou. Kansas has used last-second heroics to win the last two games at Missouri, with former Jayhawk David Padgett hitting a baseline turnaround in the final second to give Kansas an 84-82 victory last season.
Senior night promises to be an emotional evening, as fans say goodbye to one of the best classes in Kansas basketball history. Simien, Langford, Miles and Lee will play their last games at home, taking on Kansas State in the 50th anniversary of the first game played at Allen Fieldhouse.
March 6, away vs. Missouri
STRONG: Football turnaround

ever we can to support them," Marchiony said. Marchiony said that football was a top priority, and has been since the arrival of Athletics Director Lew Perkins and his staff last August.
To solidify its support of Kansas football, the Athletics Department has begun fundraising for a planned football-only facility. The department has raised more than $9 million of the estimated $25 to $30 million it will cost to fund the project. The proposed facility has garnered attention recently because of large donations toward its construction.
Marchiony said any talk of the facility's location was premature.
"Raising the money for the facility comes first. Once that is done, the Athletic Department will meet with the Chancellor and University Administrators to determine the shape and location of it," he said.
The facility plans to house all football offices, training areas and provide academic support for the athletes. Marchiony said the addition of such a facility would "help Kansas become a consistent, major player in the Big 12."
Regardless of where the facilty goes, the fact Kansas is moving aggressively toward such a project is valuable evidence that the Athletic Department is serious in its commitment to the football program.
As compelling as turnarounds are, they are only remembered if they translate into sustained achievement. Glen Mason enjoyed a couple of bowl victories in the early-to-mid '90s, but his bizarre departure and Kansas' subsequent demise virtually overshadow those accomplishments.
Mangino is no stranger to turning a program around. Aside from his exploits at Kansas, he has been privy to both major and minor rebuilding jobs at the college level. He was a part of the greatest turnaround in college football history at Kansas State before heading to Oklahoma, where he was offensive coordinator and won a national title in 2000. Bottom line, Mangino knows and has what it takes to be a winner, and he has already started to show it here in Lawrence.
So take solace, Jayhawk fans. The future of Kansas football is bright and the turnaround is in full swing. A victory tomorrow and this season will not seem so bad after all.

training," Campbell said. "She could be one of the top 200 breaststrokers in the country, as she has all the necessary tools."
Matous, a butterfly and freestyle swimmer from Blue Valley North High School, rounds out the recruiting class. She is a member of the Kansas City Blazers club team, and her coach is Pete Malone.
"Kendall is another diamond in the rough," Campbell said. "We feel very lucky to have her in our program. She comes to us from the KC Blazers, and Pete Malone has really helped her improve in a short amount of time. Kendall should come in and contend right away."
Campbell said that all of the new signees would have the opportunity to make an impact.
"Our fall signes represent another chapter in our progression as a team shooting for the Top 25," he said. "They all can come to KU and be a part of that goal immediately."

RIGHT: Mavs are experienced CONTINUED FROM 12A
The Lady Mavs are led by senior forward Rola Ogunoye, who had a team-high 18 points in the Lady Mavs 74-71 exhibition victory against Houston Wednesday night. Last season, Ogunoye averaged 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. She was a first team all-conference selection.
Another key returning player for the Lady Mavs is senior guard Krystal Buchanan. She started all but one game last year and averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. She is Texas-Arlington's all-time assist leader, and has the top-two single season assist records for the Lady Mavs.
Last year, the Lady Mavs made a school record 193 three-point shots. They have made at least one three-point shot in 75 consecutive games.
