Trey Hansen and Brea Henderson are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.
Hansen takes home the boys’ award after pitching a gem Sunday night at Washoe Park in Anaconda. Hansen appears to be back to his postseason form from a year ago. He struck out 12 batters, scattered four hits and gave up one unearned run in six innings to help the Butte Miners win Game 1 during a South A sweep of the A’s. In the nightcap, he poked a pair of hits and scored five runs.
Hansen, a soon-to-be senior at Butte High, was the winning pitcher in the clinching games of the District, State and Regional tournaments in 2022.
Henderson receives the girls’ honor for her outstanding play on the softball diamond. Following a second-place finish in Copper City Softball All-Stars, Henderson was a key contributor to Magic-McCarthy’s 12U softball team’s success last weekend at the ASA State Softball tournament.
Henderson, who will be a seventh grader at East Middle School in the fall, pitched the distance, digging deep when her team needed her most. Brea is the epitome of a coachable kid — always smiling, going the extra mile and displaying 100 percent effort for her teammates. Congratulations Brea, your Magic family loves you.
Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, teamed 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.
