Butte Central senior football player Jack Nagle and Butte High senior volleyball player Audrey McClafferty are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

Nagle takes home the boys’ honor after booting Butte Central to victory in their home opener Friday night on the Bob Green Field. Nagle is a 6-foot-2, 190-pound receiver/free safety for the Maroons. But it was his right leg that came into play the most as the Maroons played their home opener Friday night on the Bob Green Field.

Nagle kicked a 32-yard field goal as time expired to lift BC to a 17-16 non-conference win over Hardin. The walk-off field goal was the first for the Maroons in a quarter of a century. He also booted a pair of extra points, accounting for five points in the win.

On offense, Nagle hauled in three passes for 33 yards.

McClafferty, a 6-2 middle blocker takes home the girls’ honor. The award comes after the Bulldogs completed their non-conference portion of the season Saturday at a cross-over tournament in Belgrade.

The young Butte High squad is still looking forward to its first win as it readies for Tuesday’s Western AA opener at home against Missoula Sentinel.

McClafferty leads the Bulldogs with a .151 hitting percentage and 12 total blocks through seven matches, the last four of which were abbreviated. She ranks third on the team in total kills.

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.
