Butte High’s Bradey Doyle and Gracie Jonart are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.
Doyle, a 5-foot-7, 155-pound junior defensive back, takes home the boys’ honor after scoring the lone touchdown in the Bulldogs’ 41-7 loss at Missoula Big Sky Thursday night. Doyle, who returned to the game after an injury took him out for a short time, picked off a pass and raced 67 yards for the score.
Then Doyle booted the point after touchdown. In addition to handling the varsity kicking duties for the second season, Doyle has emerged as a standout defensive back for a Bulldog defense that is much better than their scores might indicate.
Jonart, a 5-8 senior outside hitter, receives the girls’ honor after her strong all-around performance helped lead the Bulldogs to their first win of the season Friday, a three-set sweep of Glacier in Kalispell. She spiked 10 kills, served three aces, collected nine digs and registered a block.
On the season, Jonart leads the Bulldogs with 71 kills. She is ranked second with nine aces and third with 85 digs.
Jonart is also a standout on the Butte High softball team.
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.
