Butte High basketball players Allie Becker and Josh Liston are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the unsung Bulldogs helped their teams sweep Kalispell Glacier and Kalispell Flathead at the Butte Civic Center.

Becker, a 5-foot-7 junior, takes home the girls’ honor. That came after she scored 10 points in a 68-48 win over Glacier and seven points in a 61-47 victory over Flathead. Seven of those eight points came as the Bulldogs took control with a 25-point first quarter against the Bravettes.

Throughout the season, Becker has consistently contributed across the stat sheet. She averages 9.2 points per game. She also registers among team leaders in rebounds, assists and steals. She is one of the top 3-point shooters on the team.

As a sophomore last season, Becker was a key player in Butte High’s run to Saturday night of the Class AA State tournament in Bozeman.

Liston, a 6-1 senior, takes home the boys’ honor. He scored a total of 10 points for the Bulldogs in the weekend sweep. Liston, though, brings so much more to the table than just points.

Since returning from a toe injury that kept him out a handful of games, Liston has contributed to Bulldog wins in so many ways. He, too, consistently registers across the stat sheet.

“He’s got long arms, he’s got great hands and he’s a great passer,” Bulldog coach Matt Luedke said. “Defensively, he gets his hands on a lot of stuff.”

For the fourth 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.
