Rodeo Insider: Huntsville's Price rides to bareback title at high school rodeo finals

By Brett Hoffman Rodeo Insider The Huntsville Item Wed Jun 23, 2010, 09:50 PM CDT

PALESTINE — Hunstville cowboy Taylor Price won the bareback riding title at the Texas High School Rodeo Finals last weekend in Abilene.

When the championship was at stake during the final round on Saturday night at the Taylor County Coliusem, Price turned in a final round score of 76. He also won the average with a three-ride tally of 221.

However, winning the state title was based on a point system. Title race points were earned during the regular season and throughout the June 13-19 state finals.

Price clinched the title with 67 points, eight more than second-place finishers Jack Choate of Dayton and Bill Tutor of Huntsville, who each finished the 2009-10 year with 59.

Price and Tutor will advance to next month’s National High School Rodeo Association Finals in Gillette, Wyo. The top four finishers in each event advanced to the nationals.

Huntsville cowboy Logan Gledhill also will advance to the Gillette championships after finishing second in the state steer wrestling race. Gledhill finished second with 50 points, two behind winner Justis Whitcher of Athens.



College rodeo update

Cade Rice of Sam Houston State finished fifth in the men’s all-around race at last weekend’s College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyo.

Rice, who competed in team roping and steer wrestling, helped Sam Houston’s men’s team tie for 17th in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association men’s team title race.

Sam Houston’s Kaki Herring won the first round of break-away roping at the Casper championships. She helped SHSU finish 11th in the NIRA women’s team title race.

Wyoming-based Gillette College win the 2010 NIRA women’s team title. Jordan Muncy-Taton, of Oklahoma Panhandle State University won the women’s all-around and break-away roping titles.

In the men’s team title race, Vernon College won the title. Tarleton State finished third.

In the men’s all-around race, Caleb Smidt of Wharton County Junior College, and Jason Schaffer, of Howard County Junior College, tied for first.



Brazile returns

Trevor Brazile of Decatur returned to the circuit last week after being sidelined with a right elbow injury for several weeks. He won the tie-down roping and team roping heading titles at the 50th Annual Daines Ranch Rodeo in Innisfail, Alberta, and earned $10,180.

According to the PRCA, the victories pushed Brazile's season earnings total to $120,454, keeping him more than $56,000 ahead of second-place Ryan Jarrett as he bids to win his record-breaking eighth all-around world championship.



Reno rodeo update

Colby Lovell of Madisonville and his partner Kory Koontz of Sudan led the team roping title race the Reno Rodeo, in Reno, Nev., following Tuesday’s performances.

The duo turned in times of 5.5 and 5.7. They have an aggregate time of 11.2, which should be fast enough to advance to Saturday’s final round.

The Reno Rodeo is the PRCA’s first major rodeo of the summer.



Houston rodeo update

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo awarded 70 Texas 4-H members with four-year, $15,000 scholarships totaling $1,050,000 during the Texas 4-H Roundup in College Station on June 11.

One of the Houston show’s oldest scholarship programs, 1,974 scholarships have been awarded to Texas 4-H members since the show’s first major educational commitment in 1957.
