Butte High junior Sam Henderson and Butte Central senior Mollie Drew are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

Henderson, who competed in track at Butte Central his first two years of high school, receives the boys’ award after competing in the 44th Simplot Games recently at Idaho State University’s ICCU Dome in Pocatello.

Henderson placed second in the high jump, clearing 6 feet, 4 inches. He also placed third in the triple jump with a personal record of 46 feet, ¾ inches. Henderson, who competed in multiple events at State for the Maroons as a freshman and sophomore, will be a huge addition to the Bulldog team this spring.

He is shown in the photo above receiving a medal from Willie Banks, a former world record holder in the triple jump.

Drew takes home the girls’ honor after closing out her BC hoops career with a solid performance in BC’s playoff game against Stevensville. Drew pulled down 12 rebounds, dished out three assists, collected three steals and scored three points for the Maroons.

Drew, who was a key varsity contributor for three seasons, closed the 2023-24 campaign averaging 8.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

“Mollie Drew has done a great job rebounding, scoring in the post and leading her team this year,” BC coach Quinn Carter said.

For the second year, Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, is teaming 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.
