Tennessee registered 468 donors – its largest single-day showing in the annual blood battle since 2021 – for a two-day total of 868. Kentucky registered 420 donors on Tuesday and 832 overall to fall behind with three days left in the competition.
Kentucky leads Tennessee in the series 22-14,1, including wins in each of the last three years and 13 of the last 15 overall.
There will be several opportunities on Wednesday for donors to make an impact on the competition. KBC’s eight donor centers will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and mobile drives will be in Adair, Casey and Franklin counties. KBC will continue to collect blood at the University of Kentucky as well at Lewis Honors College and the William T. Young Library.
