Zip Code 46041 Continues to be COVID-19 Hotspot

Published on

FRANKFORT, Ind – The zip code 46041 within Clinton County continues to be a COVID-19 hotspot according to a revised statewide map published Tuesday, October 27th.

Using data from the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), Micah Pollak, Associate Professor of Economics at Indiana University Northwest, published a revised statewide map on Tuesday showing the average weekly new COVID-19 cases over a 4-week period by zip code in Indiana. Professor Pollak was assisted in this project by Susan Batt, 13 Investigates & Special Projects Producer at WTHR.

The method of determining a numerical value by zip code looked at the average new weekly cases over a 4-week period, from September 27th through October 25th. Then zip code population data available from 2018 population tables published by the U.S. Census Bureau was used to allow each zip code to be analyzed evenly. A statistical method used commonly known as occurrences in 1,000. In this instance, the weekly average of new COVID-19 cases per 1,000 people.

The result was the grouping of results across 6 bands, 0-0.5, 0.6-0.8, 0.8-1.0, 1.0-1.2, 1.2-1.4, and 1.4+. Clinton County zip code 46041 feel within the 1.4+ band. Other Clinton County zip codes appearing in grouping bands included zip codes 46065 (1.2-1.4 band), 46058 (0.8-1.0 band), and 46050 (0-0.6 band).

According to Pollak, “Over the same four most recent week (Sept. 27 to Oct. 25), the growth rate of cases NATIONALLY was 1.2 per 1,000 people.”

The following is the most recent zip code data by count only as pulled on October 28, 2020.

46035 Colfax: Suppressed
46039 Forest: Suppressed
46041 Frankfort: 557 cases (an increase of 92 cases since last week)
46050 Kirklin: 22 cases ((an increase of 3 cases since last week)
46057 Michigantown: Suppressed
46058 Mulberry: 99 cases (an increase of 5 cases since last week)
46065 Rossville: 42 cases (an increase of 11 cases since last week)
46067 Sedalia: No cases

Note: Suppression occurs when there are either less than 5 COVID cases to a zip code or the zip code’s population is less than 1,500.

Today, October 28, the ISDH reported an additional 17 Clinton County residents had tested positive bringing the total count to 952 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Hot Dogs Season Comes To An End After Loss To Lebanon

Published on

LEBANON, Ind – Frankfort faced a tough challenge in sectional football action Friday when they traveled to face its perennial rival, the Lebanon Tigers – a team that has held the Hot Dogs scoreless over the previous three years and outscored them 233-39 in the past four.

And like the previous three years, Lebanon shut out the Dogs, winning 29-0. The twenty-nine points allowed is the fewest a Dogs’ defense has allowed against Lebanon since a 29-14 loss in 2015. Frankfort ends the season at 5-5.

“To come down here and play these guys to a 29-0 ball game, it’s just a testament to how far these guys have come,” said third-year FHS head coach James Byers. “How far this team has come. How far this senior class has brought us. We threw these guys to the wolves when they were sophomores.”

Lebanon used a mix of defense schemes to shut down the Frankfort offense. On the ground, Hot Dog junior running back Riley Goodnight entered the game averaging 132 yards-per-game and was held to just 39 yards on 26 carries. From the air, junior quarterback Sam Michael threw for 34 yards on 4-of-9 attempts.

“Even though we did not score, we offensively moved the ball well,” said Byers. “Sam made some really nice throws. Riley had some really nice runs. Cam (Swinford) had a really nice catch on the sideline to convert the first down.”

For the season, Goodnight rushed for 1,229 yards, added an additional 145 yards of receiving, and scored 15 touchdowns – 13 from the ground and 2 from the air. Goodnight finished his junior season ranked 21st in Indiana for total yards and 19th in the state in rushing yards.

Michael threw for 908 yards on 50 percent passing and rushed for 510 yards. He scored 13 touchdowns in total with seven from the air and 6 on the ground. Seniors Jade Ayers and Kyle Earl finished with 441 and 293 receiving yards respectively.

Defensively the Hot Dogs were led by the linebacker duo of senior Gabe Chavez and junior Brenton Wood with 16 and 15 tackles respectively. Wood also had a blocked punt. Senior Ramsey Mitchell added a sack and junior Bryce McDonald came away with an interception.

For the season, Chavez ended ranked 2nd nationally in tackles and 1st in Indiana. Junior defensive tackle Vlad Carreras Lantigua finished the year ranked 20th nationally overall in tackles, 1st nationally among defensive tackles, and 7th overall in Indiana. McDonald finished the year tied for 31st nationally in interceptions, tied for 7th in the state in interceptions, and tied for 15th in the state in tackles among free safeties. Ramsey Mitchell finished his senior year tied for 13th in the state in sacks and senior Reece Mitchell ended his year as the #1 strong safety in the state in total tackles.

Coach Byers talked about how the program has grown and what this season has meant for the growth of the Frankfort football program in years to come.

“There was talk of shutting down the program two years ago,” said Byers. “The numbers were so low – it was really bad. Our staff came in and we didn’t win any games – we got the numbers up (students playing). We started getting better, showing improvement. We improved more that second year. We were more competitive in games and this year finally turning the corner and getting those wins, making plays, and winning tight ball games.

“North Mont is an outstanding team. Crawfordsville is a really well-coached team. To make that trip up, two-hours to a different time zone, and play a South Central team – that was super awesome. Southmont, an incredibly physical team, their coach has them run a triple-option really well. Then Clinton Prairie, a lot of athletes and a big offensive line, for us to go in there and get our first win was tremendous.

“These guys have had a huge year and I’m so proud of them. I wish we could keep playing, but it ends for everybody like this but for six.” Each year six teams in Indiana high school football are crowned state champs – one in each of the six football classes.

Coach Byers looks toward next year with seven returning starters on each the defense and offense side. “We’ve made huge strides,” said Byers. “Now it’s, how do we take the next step? And, that’s going to be the focus of this offseason.”
