Logan Roepke, left, and Jacob Fritsche of the Common Scents Greenhouse, rural McCook, plant a Colorado blue spruce on the south side of the McCook Senior High tennis courts Tuesday afternoon. This spruce, along with 24 other blue spruces and Austrian pines planted this week around the perimeter of the tennis courts, have been donated to McCook Public Schools by the Joyce and Darrel Potthoff family in memory of their son, Adam. Adam played tennis for MHS, winning the Nebraska 2001 No. 2 state doubles championship, and then was a member of the Scottsdale, Ariz., Community College tennis team that qualified for the NJCAA Tournament in 2005. He graduated from MHS in 2003 and from college at Scottsdale and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He was teaching tennis in Lincoln where he was living at the time of his death on June 29, 2015. He was 30 years old.

  • Very nice tribute to Adam. Thanks Potthoffs.
