This week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week honors go to Butte Motormen player Noah Powers and the players on the 11-12 division champion Elite Electrical team in the Copper City Softball Little League.

Powers takes home the boys’ honor after helping the Motormen, a Butte American Legion Baseball team, win the Dillon wooden bat tournament this past weekend. He led the team with a dominant pitching performance and some clutch hitting.

In the lineup for three of the four games, Powers went 5 for 8 with four RBIs. He also mowed down Lone Peak for a victory that proved to be the tournament winner. He pitched five innings, giving up one unearned run. Powers scattered five hits, worked around three walks and struck out eight batters.

On the season, Powers is batting .346, and he carries a 3.1 ERA.

The Elite Electrical team takes home the girls’ honor after claiming the league title. Coach Josh Schad’s team went 3-0 in the city tournament last week.

Players on the team are Olivia Angle, Cendyl Campbell, Luciana Fantini, Anya Gavillot, Kaliya Kinard, Kayoni Kinard, Karmyn Kjersten, Quinn Kump, Ryan Olson, Keelie Schad and Shyloh Williams.

For the second year, Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, is teaming up with the ButteCast to honor the finest student-athletes from the Mining City in an effort to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
