Butte High golfers Chase Choquette and Kate DeShaw are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the Bulldogs opened the season in strong fashion. It also comes after Choquette and DeShaw won the Butte City Junior Championship tournament.

Choquette, a senior, fired a one-over-par 71 at the Highland View Golf Course, and then birdied the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to win the City title last Wednesday. He beat Butte High teammate Jack Muhlestein on the extra hole.

One day earlier, Choquette saw an incredible comeback bid come up one shot short as he placed second at the Butte High Invitational at the Old Works in Anaconda. He matched par with a 72 on the Course that Jack Built.

DeShaw, a junior, won the City title with an 83 Wednesday at the Muni. That marked the second time of the week that she topped the field in a tournament on the Highland View Golf Course. She also won the Butte Central Invitational Monday with a 78, topping the second-place finisher by 14 shots.

At Tuesday’s Butte High tournament in Anaconda, DeShaw placed fourth in an impressive field with a 96.

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.
