This week’s Leskovar Honda Athlete of the Week honors go to the volleyball team 2 Legit 2 Hit and Butte Miners senior outfielder Kevin “Donnie” Donaldson.

Avery Barsness, Reese Johnson, Kendallyn Schad, Allie Becker and Cadence Graham make up the team 2 Legit 2 Hit. They take home the girls’ honor after winning the summer league 4 on 4 volleyball lower division (seventh and eighth grade) championship.

Playing in the league without a coach, the girls went undefeated during the summer to claim the top spot in the eight-team league. They played two games every Tuesday.

Donaldson takes home the boys’ honor after closing out his American Legion baseball career with an outstanding performance for the Miners at the Class A State tournament in Laurel.

In three games from the No. 2 hole, Donaldson went 6 for 8 from the plate. He scored eight runs.

Donaldson, who finished the season batting .394, is also an outstanding right fielder for the Miners. He often makes difficult plays look routine, and his glove is where extra-base hits go to die.

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.
