Butte Central senior Kathryn Lalicker and Butte High sophomore Hudson Luedke are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

Lalicker takes home the girls’ honor after a strong week playing for the Butte Central girls’ basketball team. She scored 22 points Thursday against Livingston before tossing in 14 against Polson.

“Kathryn has done a really nice job of attacking the rim and creating offense for herself and our team,” BC coach Quinn Carter said. “I have been very pleased with the start of her senior season, and I’m excited to see what she can do for our team moving forward.”

Lalicker has been a key varsity contributor since her sophomore season.

Luedtke receives the boys’ honor after leading the Bulldogs to an exciting 50-48 win over Belgrade at the Butte Civic Center. The point guard poured in 23 points for Butte in the Bulldogs’ home opener.

Luedtke scored 14 points to lead the Bulldogs in their season opener a week earlier in Bozeman. The fast start to the season comes after Luedtke averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game as a freshman.

The Bulldogs and Maroons will play each other Friday night at the Butte Civic Center.

Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, teams 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.
