Butte Central basketball players Zayonna Otherbull and Joshua Sutton are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the Maroons hosted the East vs. West Tipoff Tournament at the Maroon Activities Center.

Otherbull, a 5-foot-10 sophomore forward, receives the girls honor. She scored 10 points as BC beat Sidney 44-41 Friday night. The next day, she poured in 16 points in a 57-42 loss to Glendive.

“Zayonna has had a great start to the season,” BC coach Quinn Carter said. “Her versatility on both ends of the floor plays a significant role in our team’s success. She is a great leader, and I’m really excited to see her continue to lead our team this season.”

Sutton, a 5-11 junior guard, takes home the boys’ honor. He is a big reason why the Maroons are off to a 4-0 start.

He scored a total of 53 points as the Maroons rolled to big wins over Sidney and Glendive. That includes a 29-point performance in Saturday’s 72-55 win over Glendive.

Sutton is averaging 23.8 points per game for the 4-0 Maroons. He has made 18 of 29 attempts from 3-point range. That is an insane 62 percent from behind the arc. Sutton’s strong start comes on the heels of his outstanding football season.

For the third year, Leskovar Honda, home of the non-commission sales staff that always has your back, 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.
