Butte Central’s Kate Johnston and Butte High’s Jack Luoma are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

Johnston, a senior libero on the BC volleyball team, takes home the girls’ award. In matches against Dillon and Corvallis last week, Johnston was a consistent force for the Maroons in serve receive and defense. She led the way with 13 digs in both games.

“Kate is coachable, willing to learn and pushes herself to become better each and every day,” BC coach Becky Hancock said of Johnston. “She is a true team player who strives to do her best for the overall good of the team. I love her drive, determination and willingness to adapt in game situations.”

Luoma, a senior center midfielder for the Butte High soccer team, receives the boys’ honor. The team captain scored three goals and registered an assist as the Bulldogs beat Kalispell Flathead 6-3 in Kalispell.

The big day from Luoma led the Bulldogs to their first win of the season.

Bulldog coach Cody Carpenter pointed out that Luoma carries a 3.97 GPA in the classroom, and he is very active in the community.

Luoma also competes in swimming and track for the Bulldogs.

Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, teamed up with the ButteCast to honor the finest 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.
