This week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week are Copper City Softball 10U All-Star Oakley Stajcar and Butte American Legion baseball players Lucas Harris-Huerta and Hunter Davies.

Stajcar takes home the girls’ honor for her outstanding play leading up to this week’s State tournament in Missoula.

“She has good hitting and on-base percentage, and she is obviously a great catcher and base runner,” Coach Jenny McEwen said of Stajcar. “But she is also a hard worker, has a good attitude and is very coachable.

“She is a great kid in addition to being an all-around great athlete,” McEwen added. “She is funny and kind.”

Harris-Huerta and Davies share the boys’ honor after delivering gems on the mound.

Harris-Huerta fired a complete game as the Butte Miners completed a key conference sweep of the Helena Reps with a 6-1 win Friday night at Kindrick Legion Field. The righty went 7 innings, giving three singles, walking two and striking out two. The run he allowed was unearned,

Harris-Huerta ran his record to 3-0 with the win. He is also a force at the plate for the Miners.

Just when it looked like Harris-Huerta ran away with the honor, Davies mowed down the Salmon Savages Sunday in Idaho.

Davies, who earned the nickname “The Legend” as a young player, pitched his best game of his Legion career as the Butte Motormen beat Salmon 12-1 in Game 1 of a Butte sweep. Davies pitched all six innings before the game was stopped by the Mercy rule. He struck out three, walked two and gave up just four hits, all singles. Davies is 3-0 on the season.

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.
