Some friends of mine that own a transportation logistics company based in northern KY organized a donation drive and I think they packed 5 or 6 semi loads full of food and supplies that were delivered to the Mayfield high school gym for dispersal. It was too much, the Mayfield administration had to tell them to re-route the last few trucks to other areas that had been affected by the storms. Everyone is headed down today in a caravan to help distribute. The kicker is that the donation drive happened at Beechwood High School, where all the organizers went to school and played football. Beechwood and Mayfield have been bitter rivals for decades on the gridiron. I believe Beechwood has 16 state titles and Mayfield has 12, so they are in each others path often. They have both switched back and forth from 1A to 2A but they are usually in the same class. They are both very small schools, under 500 students total in grades 9-12. Cool to see the communities coming together like that.
