This week’s Leskovar Honda Athlete of the Week honors go to Butte High senior Jaycee Cleveland and Butte Central junior Ryan Peoples.

Cleveland takes home the girls’ honor after leading the Bulldog volleyball team to one win and one loss in matches against Skyview and West Saturday in Billings. The setter tallied two aces, nine kills, three blocks, 31 digs and 50 assists. She registered a 47.4 kill percentage.

“She led us to one of the best opening weekends we’ve had in the five years I’ve been here,” Butte High coach Shane Jorgensen said.

The Bulldogs will play their first home matches of the season on Saturday.

Peoples takes home the boys’ honor after helping lead the BC football team to a 32-22 season-opening win at Ronan. He completed 13 of 21 passes for 164 yards in the victory. Peoples tossed a 36-yard touchdown pass to Aidan Ossello. He added a pair of scores on the ground.

The sharp-shooting Peoples is also a leader on Butte Central’s basketball team.

Central will play host to Hamilton Friday on Montana Tech’s Bob Green Field.

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.
