Waverly, Tenn.–A group of Bethel University student athletes and staff members traveled over the Labor Day weekend to Waverly, Tennessee to assist the community in its recovery from the historic flooding that struck the area in August. Twenty people lost their lives in the flooding which also destroyed homes, businesses and public buildings.
The group—made up mostly of members of the football team—aided residents in their continuing cleanup efforts. They were inspired to help in part by the direct impact the devastation had on several current and former Wildcat athletes.
