Butte High juniors Tocher Lee and Ashlinn Mullaney are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.
The honors come after both players helped the Bulldogs beat Butte Central in basketball games Friday at the Butte Civic Center.
Lee takes home the boys’ honor after scoring 13 points to help Butte High pick up its 100th win against the Maroons, a 76-67 decision. He scored six of those points to help the Bulldogs pull away in the fourth quarter. He had a picture-perfect pass to Rueso Batterman for a key bucket down the stretch.
Lee also got off to a hot start, tossing in seven points in the first quarter as Butte High busted out of the gates for their first win against the Maroons since the 2018-2019.
Mullaney receives the girls’ nod after tossing in 15 points to lead the Bulldogs to a 52-26 win over Butte Central. Mullaney hit three 3-pointers, scoring eight in the first half and seven in the second.
She also had a big game passing the ball and playing defense. Mullaney missed much of her sophomore sports season with an injury. She was All-State pitcher on the Bulldog softball team as a freshman, but missed her sophomore campaign.
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.
