Student-athletes give back after disaster

Since the EF2 tornado hit downtown Wetumpka, the most consistent message around the community has been about the outpouring of support from neighbors. While sports are often the last thing on people’s minds in these situations, several local athletes wanted to be a part of the recovery.

“It hurt seeing the community like that,” Wetumpka football player Cody Tucker said. “They came out to help us on every Friday night so we wanted to give back and be there like they were for us.”
