The day was a typical Colorado day with lots of sunshine, a slight breeze and the sky was full of clouds. It rained the day before and everything was perfect. I attended with a Media Pass as I always like to go home to Colorado, where I was raised on the Hughbanks Turkey Ranch, and a rodeo is just the icing on the cake. I had attended the Cervi Championship Rodeo five years ago when they did the same thing with Barebacks and Saddle Broncs on the last day of the season. My friends Gary and Connie Sandstead met me at the airport and I stayed with them, and Connie and I attended.
Most of the top 20 were there, but I think some were missing because of the Govenor’s Cup that was held the weekend before and the 30th was on Tuesday.
Those attending and their scores were:
Bareback Riding: Jesse Pope - 85, Rocker Steiner - 85, Bradlee Miller – 80 1/2, Garrett Shadbolt – 78, Kade Sonnier – 83 ½, Dean Thompson – 81, Jacek Frost – 74, Jayco Roper - 82 ½, Waylon Bourgeois – 87 ½, Mason Clements – 85 ½, Tilden Hooper – 79, Orin Larsen – 87, Jacob Lees – 86, Richmond Champion – 80 ½, Tanner Aus – 73, Kashton Ford – 81 ½, Donnie Proffet -8?.
The Finals: Jacob Lees had 88 (on Womanizer); Orin Larson was 2nd with 87 ½ and Waylon Bourgeois 3rd with 84.
Saddle Bronc Riding: Ryder Wright – 85, Damon Brennan – 84, Kade Bruno – 83 ½, Sage Newman – 86, Statler Wright – 84, Weston Patterson – 86 ½, Wyatt Casper – 83 ½, Ben Anderson – (reride) 81, Lety Holman – 86, Chase Brooks – 81 ½, Q Taylor – 82 ½, Jake Finley – 80, Ira Dickinson – 0, Waitley Sharron – 82, Gus Gallard – 85, Cavy Pennington – 0, Coleman Shalbetter – 84.
The Finals: Weston Patterson, on Triple Threat – 89; Sage Newman on Hitman – 87; Lefty Holman on Steak Sauce – 84 ½.
Bull Riding: Hudson Bolton – 81, Mason Moody – 0, Rawley Johnson – 0, Bryce Jensen – 0, Luke Mackey – 81, Luke Mast – 0, Clayton Sellers – 84, Scott Wells – 0, Jason Petri – 79, Trevo Reiste – 0, Mason Spain – 0, Ethan Skoquist – 0, Colton Coffman – 0, Wade Tuni – 0, Eliza Mora – 86.
The Finals: Hudson Bolton on Ringling Road– 92, Luke Mackey – 0, Eliza Mora – 0.
The Final count at the PRCA on all events doesn’t come out until the middle of October so who is going to go to the National Finals will be announced then. I think this ‘last ditch effort’ on the part of Cervi Championship Rodeo is important to the guys who have worked so hard and give their events all they have to give. If it works for anyone of those guys, I’m delighted. But for those who won’t make the PRCA National Finals – there is always next year!
