Butte High seniors Tocher Lee and Ashlinn Mullaney are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

This marks the second time the two have been chosen as Athletes of the Week on the same day. They were also picked on Dec. 25, 2023 after helping Butte High sweep Butte Central in basketball.

The latest honors come after the Bulldog stars put up some bigtime performances Saturday on the home diamond.

Lee receives the boys’ accolades after going 3 for 4 with an RBI, a run scored and three stolen bases as Butte High’s baseball team walked off with a 5-4 win over Livingston at 3 Legends Stadium.

Lee also created the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. He hustled down the line to beat out an infield single. His speed forced an errant throw that allowed Logan Carden to score the winning run.

Butte High’s leadoff hitter has also qualified to compete in the Class AA State track & field meet in the long jump.

Mullaney takes home the girls’ honor after going 2 for 3 with two doubles, a walk and two runs scored in the Butte High softball team’s 11-4 Senior Day win Saturday over Missoula Hellgate at Stodden Park.

The Bulldog ace also pitched the distance, scattering six hits, giving up just one earned run in the win. She struck out eight batters and walked two.

Mullaney, who missed her sophomore season after undergoing shoulder surgery, emerged as a force for the Bulldogs during her freshman campaign, earning All-State honors as a pitcher.

For the third 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 to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
