FOUNTAIN COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) - More than 160 people have come to Fountain Central High School the past 3 days for a tennis tournament in memory of three high school athletes.

The 3rd annual Memorial Tennis Tournament in memory of brother's Evan and Levi McTagertt and Andy Krout raises money for two scholarships in Evan and Andy's names and a trust for Levi's son.

Evan and Levi both died in car accidents, while Andy lost his life to Pnemonia.

So far the tournament has raised 1600 dollars plus donations, including one from SIA, where the McTagertt's father Jeff works. The scholarships are given to Fountain Central seniors who have the same qualities and interests in life as Evan and Andy.

With so many people involved with the tournament, it is obvious that that all three were greatly loved and missed by their community and friends and getting together to raise money is a great way to honor the impact they made.
