Butte Central senior Owen McPartland and Butte High junior Gracie Jonart are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

McPartland takes home the boys’ honor after winning the singles title at the Central A Divisional tennis tournament at East Helena.

After earning a first-round bye, McPartland cruised to three wins to capture the divisional crown. He beat Callen Stoner of Havre 6-2, 6-0 in the championship match.

McPartland will represent the Maroons this Thursday and Friday at the Class A State meet in Billings. He is the lone Maroon making the trip.

Jonart receives the girls’ accolade after putting up a big-time performance in Butte High’s final softball game of the season. Jonart went 3 for 5 as Butte High fell 9-5 in Game 2 of the best-of-three playoff series at Missoula Sentinel. The Bulldogs lost the first game 3-2.

In the finale, Jonart hit a pair of doubles and scored a run. She has also been a solid center fielder for the Bulldogs all season.

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.
