Butte Central sophomore Will McGree and Butte High senior Taylor Drakos are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

McGree takes the boys’ honor after a rare feat on the golf course on Saturday. He used a 3-wood to hit a hole-in-one on the Par 4 No. 11 at the Butte Country Club.

McGree said the hole was playing about 255 yards when he recorded the double-eagle while golfing with his cousin, Keefer McGree.

A two-time letter winner in golf for the Maroons, McGree also competes in basketball and track at Butte Central.

Drakos takes the girls’ honor after going 2 for 3 with three RBIs and two runs scored to help lead Butte High to a 16-0 win over Missoula Hellgate at Stodden Park. She also stole a base in the win.                                        

The next day, Drakos worked a pair of walks as the Bulldogs fell to Missoula Big Sky. The left fielder was also a contributor for Butte High’s basketball and volleyball teams.

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 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.
