East Middle School eighth graders Saege Grey and Teague Barsness are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the two were nominated by the East faculty. Grey takes home the girls’ honor, while Barsness receives the boys’ nod.

Sage is a basketball player who has made a lasting impact at East Middle School, and she is set to continue her journey with the Butte High Bulldogs this season.

Saege has shown incredible dedication to her team and the game of basketball. Her hard work, positive attitude, and kindness have made her not only a talented athlete but also a valued teammate and leader. Whether it’s giving 100 percent in practice, encouraging others on the bench or stepping up during games, Saege embodies what it means to be a true student-athlete.

Saege will bring that same work ethic, sportsmanship and drive to Butte High School’s basketball program, and her friends at East can’t wait to see all she will accomplish.

Teague has been a force on the basketball court, demonstrating exceptional skill, hustle and leadership. Off the court, Teague sets an example with his positive attitude, work ethic and dedication to his teammates.

Whether it’s in practice, the classroom or game time, he consistently goes above and beyond to represent East Middle School with pride. His hard work and determination make him a true role model for the entire school.

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.
