Butte High football player Peyton Johnson and Butte High volleyball player MacKenzie Dayhuff are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the Bulldog football and volleyball seasons came to an end.

Johnson, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound senior running back takes home the boys’ honor. Johnson started his career with the Bulldogs playing receiver, and he transitioned nicely to running back.

During his senior year, Johnson ran 152 times for a team-leading 521 yards. He was also used as a reliable blocker in the backfield and a viable option in the passing game.

In Butte High’s playoff loss at Great Falls Russell, Johnson ran for 67 hard-earned yards of 12 carries. That’s an average of 5.6 yards per carry.

Dayhuff, a 5-6 senior defensive specialist, was a role player for the Bulldog volleyball team. She was also an ace behind the service line, ranking second on the team with 22 aces on the season.

She ranked among the Bulldog leaders with 75 sets played, and she was ultra reliable receiving serves.

One of three seniors on the team, Dayhuff collected 42 digs on the season.

For the third year, Leskovar Honda 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.
