Warriors Quick Start Too Much For Dogs, 45-12

Published on

DANVILLE, Ind – Frankfort faced an undefeated Danville Warriors team Friday that got out to a fast start scoring on its first three possessions and doing so without taking much time off of the clock.

The Hot Dogs found themselves down 21-0 with 7:18 left in the first quarter with only one offensive series of its own. As with last week’s game against Western Boone, FHS saw their opponent take advantage of a short field.

Danville’s first score took just 20-seconds after receiving the Hot Dogs opening kickoff. Three plays were all the Warriors needed to move the ball 41-yards and the first points were the result of an Ethan Durta 4-yard run. Their next score came after holding the Dogs to a three-and-out. A strong punt return by Brayton McMahon placed the ball at the Hot Dogs 27-yard line – leading to a Kale Payne 3-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Doston.

The third score of the opening quarter came after an Ivan Duarte fumble on the ensuing kickoff that was recovered at the Hot Dogs 28-yard line. Payne connected with Dominick Wynn on a 19-yard touchdown pass.

“It’s tough to defend a short field,” said FHS Coach James Byers. “We’ve got to get off of the bus, we’ve got to get off of the bus ready to play. We spot them 21-points – you take that away and it’s a 24-12 game.”

Frankfort got on the scoreboard with 3:45 left in the 2nd quarter after an Ivan Duarte punt took a funny hop and went off of the foot of the Warriors’ punt returner, Luke Wooten – Reece Mitchell was there to recover the fumble on the Warriors 40-yard line.

Hot Dogs quarterback Sam Michael went to work moving the ball down the field connecting on all three pass attempts – 12-yards to Jade Ayer and twice to Riley Goodnight, 7-yards, and 9-yards.

On a third-and-two from the 6-yard line, Goodnight found the space to reach the endzone. The two-point attempt failed – making the score 31-6.

“I’m really proud of the way our guys battled tonight,” coach Byers said. “I’m proud they kept playing, they kept playing hard. We got down 21 and that is when they seemed to pick up their intensity.”

The final FHS scoring drive took place as time expired in the 4th quarter. Michael found Kyle Earl, with toes just inside the right sideline of the endzone, for a 4-yard passing score – with time expired the officials did not set-up for an extra point attempt.

“I’m proud of them playing four quarters,” coach Byers added. “I’m proud our way the offense started to get back in rhythm.”

The final score of 45-12 moves the Dogs to 3-4 for the season and 1-3 in conference play. Danville goes to 5-0, 4-0.

Michael finished the evening with 72-yards passing – connecting on 12-of-22 attempts, with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. He added 2-yards of rushing on 10 carries.

Goodnight rushed for 44-yards on 20 carries, with 1 touchdown. He also had 6 receptions for 29-yards. Ayers had 3 receptions for 32-yards and Earl had 3 receptions for 11-yards and 1 touchdown.

Defensively Frankfort was led by Reece Mitchell with 10 tackles in addition to the fumble recovery. Bryce McDonald and Ayers both had interceptions.

The Hotdogs continue Sagamore Conference play on Friday at North Montgomery, (5-2,2-2), who lost to Tri-West on Friday, 35-6.

“We’ve got a big test week with North (Montgomery), said coach Byers. “North (Montgomery) is a great team. Coach (Josh) Thompson does a terrific job down there. They’ve got a couple players – (Jacob Braun) is a big strong kid. So, we have to get off of the bus ready to play next week.”

Frankfort Mayor Judy Sheets, Fire Department Kickoff Fire Prevention Week

Published on

FRANKFORT, Ind – Frankfort Mayor Judy Sheets issued a proclamation Monday, October 5, declaring the week of October 5 through 9 fire prevention week in Frankfort.

Mayor Sheets shared why she wanted to recognize the week as fire prevention week given the restrictions still in place for COVID-19.  “I think it is so important to get the message out to our citizens – particularly the schools,” said Mayor Sheets. “I thought it was important that we do something to still recognize that it is fire prevention week and that out firefighters are still there to be able to give information out.”

This year’s campaign is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!” and the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) is the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, something they have done for more than 90 years.

“We’ve never had a proclamation read for fire prevention week,” said Frankfort Fire Department Chief John Kirby. “We reach over 3,000 kids every year just in the week of fire prevention week – this year it is through the week of the 5th through the 9th.”

Given the COVID-19 restrictions, Chief Kirby said the department had to come up with some creative ways to reach the children in Frankfort schools.

“Unfortunately through COVID, we are unable to get into the schools like we have in the past and actually congregate with the kids and different classes and talk to them about fire prevention. So, this year we’re doing it kind of different.

“We have to be a bit more creative to get the message out this year; pre-K through 2nd grade, we’re doing coloring contests – the kids will be coloring a different fire prevention slogans and pictures. Then our firefighters next week will go through and pick the ones they like and give the winners a gift bag.

“The older kids we’ll pass out the rubber bracelets – all of them have different fire prevention slogans on them. We plan on each school having a fire drill this week. Unfortunately, the middle school and high school are out this week on e-learning, but we still have the grade schools, so we are going to make contact with them and probably have a fire drill.”

Chief Kirby shared the following safety tips to prevent cooking fires:

  • Never leave cooking food unattended. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling. If you have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove.
  • If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you’re cooking.
  • You have to be alert when cooking. You won’t be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs, or consumed alcohol that makes you drowsy.
  • Always keep an oven mitt and pan lid nearby when you’re cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan to smother the flame. Turn off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cool.
  • Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.
