Ocho Cinco trounced Tau Kappa Epsilon in Friday’s intramural flag football match, cruising to a 75-0 victory.

David Kempin, Wichita junior, helped shut out TKE in what looked to be an easy game for Ocho Cinco. Kempin, Ocho Cinco’s quarterback, threw for nine touchdowns and ran one in himself during Friday’s game.

Ocho Cinco looked dominant on the field, with every play resulting in a touchdown, an interception or a sack for the team.

Marcus Folks, Wichita sophomore who plays for Ocho Cinco, said he was confident about his teammates.

“I think our team did very well. We utilized our strengths and stuck to the game plan,” Folks said.

Ocho Cinco correctly positioned itself on defense as Alex Ignatowski, Nolan Mansfield and Zach Olsen combined for six interceptions against TKE’s quarterback Matt Geier. The team also dominated offensively, scoring seven touchdowns, including five two-point conversions, in the first half.

Although things weren’t looking pretty for TKE as it entered the second half, its members still kept their heads held high. But Ocho Cinco had the mind-set of, well, the real Ocho Cinco, Chad Johnson, a wide receiver for the Bengals. Ocho Cinco continued to dominate TKE in the latter part of the game.

In the second half, Ocho Cinco slowed its offense down, scoring only three touchdowns with one two-point conversion and one three-point conversion. In flag football, teams can make point conversions of one, two or three points.

Defensively, Ocho Cinco had three sacks on TKE’s quarterback and three interceptions within the final minutes of the game.

With Ocho Cinco now 2-0, the team has high hopes for next week’s game against K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall.

“Next week, get your popcorn ready,” Folks said.
