Butte High basketball players Saege Grey and Cayde Stajcar are this week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come after the Bulldogs closed out the regular season and look to begin postseason runs.

Grey, a 5-foot-8 freshman guard, takes home the girls’ honor. She scored 11 points as Butte High clinched a berth in the Class AA State tournament with a 54-28 win over Missoula Sentinel Tuesday in Missoula.

Three nights later, Grey again poured in 11 points as the Bulldogs dropped a 47-41 decision at first-place Missoula Big Sky. That game did not affect standings or postseason seeding for the Bulldogs or Eagles.

Grey is in her second year contributing for the Butte High varsity program. She averaged 6.3 points and more than 6 rebounds per game during the regular season. Grey is also among the team leaders in assists and steals.

The 6-3 Stajcar takes home the boys’ honor after helping the Bulldogs close the regular season with a pair of home wins over Missoula Sentinel and Missoula Big Sky.

He had a particularly big game as the Bulldogs beat Sentinel 71-65 on Tuesday, avenging a 41-point loss to the Spartans in Missoula. Stajcar scored nine points while grabbing a game-high eight rebounds in the contest.

Three nights later, Stajcar had a huge bucket late in the game to help the Bulldogs pull out a 66-63 overtime win over Missoula Big Sky. He also grabbed a couple of clutch rebounds and blocked a shot in the final minutes.

After not playing basketball as a sophomore and junior, Stajcar returned to the court this season and is a big reason the 15-4 Bulldogs have a home playoff game on Thursday.

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.
