1. Wild weekend
Rapid City plays hosts to second stop 

The Black Hills Stock Show Rodeo, voted the best indoor rodeo in the PRCA in 2002, will host the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour’s third stop Jan. 31-Feb. 3 in Rapid City, S.D.

The sport's top cowboys and cowgirls will battle it out at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, starting Thursday at the Badlands Circuit’s most lucrative rodeo.

Besides the potential of big paydays, the Black Hills Stock Show also serves as the third of 26 stops on the 2008 Wrangler ProRodeo Tour, following the Tour’s season-opening stops in Odessa, Texas, and Denver. From Rapid City, contestants head to the Texas cities of San Antonio and San Angelo.

The top 35 competitors from the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour standings in terms of prize money, along with the “Wild Card” qualifiers, champions from March’s Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, will earn a spot in the first Ariat Playoffs event at Caldwell, Idaho.

From there, the top 22 in total Tour money in each event, as well as the Wild Card and the champion from the first Ariat Playoffs event will advance to a 24-person (24 teams in team roping) second playoff event in Puyallup, Wash. The field will then be cut to 12, with those contestants moving on to the next event in Omaha, Neb., then to 10 for the final round in the Playoffs system in Dallas. Fox Sports Network and CBS are scheduled to televise the four Ariat Playoffs events.

The regular-season Tour schedule concludes with the Dodge City (Kan.) Roundup Rodeo in early August.

The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo has been part of the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour since it was introduced in 2000.

San Antonio starts with Xtreme Bulls

The Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour presented by B&W Trailer Hitches returns to San Antonio for the sixth straight year as part of the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. San Antonio fans will see the top 40 PRCA bull riders in the world matched with the best bulls for a shot at the title at the AT&T Center on Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. CT.

2006 World Champion Bull Rider B.J. Schumacher of Hillsboro, Wis., and Cody Hancock of Taylor, Ariz., the 2000 world champion, headline the list of riders. Also competing are reigning Xtreme Bulls National Champion Kanin Asay of Powell, Wyo., and Mike Moore, who won the overall Xtreme Bulls title in 2003 in addition to Myron Duarte of Auburn, Wash., who claimed victory in the Tour’s opening stop in Rapid City, S.D., on Jan. 26.

Xtreme Bulls, the PRCA‘s world championship bull riding tour, made its debut in 2003 in San Antonio. Near-capacity crowds of 15,000 have taken in the action in recent years, watching Schumacher and Luke Haught of Weatherford, Texas, win Tour-stop titles there in 2007.

San Antonio also will host the Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour on Feb. 16.

In San Antonio, each rider competes for part of the $75,000 purse and placement in the Xtreme Bulls rankings.

In Xtreme Bulls, every contestant competes in the semifinal round, with the top 15 performers advancing to the final round.  The winner of the two-head average wins that stop’s title. Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour earnings count toward the Crusher Rentals PRCA World Standings, which determines qualifiers for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Dec. 4-13 in Las Vegas.

The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, which starts Feb. 1, also is a stop on the 2008 Wrangler ProRodeo Tour. Cowboys and cowgirls will compete for Wrangler Tour points throughout the 19-performance rodeo. The rodeo’s final performance, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 16, will feature the top 12 contestants in each event competing for Tour-round and average titles.

2. Brothers clinch Denver team roping title 
Brady Minor had to look no farther than his own brother to find success in the tough world of professional team roping.

Minor, 23, waited about one year to ask his 19-year-old brother, Riley, to be his ProRodeo partner, and what a duo they have turned out to be.

The Minor brothers from Ellensburg, Wash., won the three-head team roping title in 16.3 seconds at the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo that began Jan. 12 and concluded with the final round on Jan. 27 at the Denver Coliseum.

While they have been paired up professionally for less than a year, they grew up roping together, so the chemistry is there.

In fact, the Minor brothers are 3-for-3 in the 2008 season. They finished first in the average at the SandHills Stock Show & Rodeo held in Odessa, Texas, earlier this month and won the NILE Pro Rodeo in Billings, Mont., last October in a rodeo that counted toward the 2008 season.

“It’s really unbelievable,” said Riley, who does the heading. “I’m really in shock right now.”

The Minors, who won $6,515 apiece, finished first in a field that included eight-time World Champion Speed Williams paired with four-time World Champion Allen Bach and reigning World Champion All-Around Cowboy Trevor Brazile teamed up with 2005 World Champion Patrick Smith, just to name a few.

A cowboy who hopes to win a lot this year is 2004 World Champion Steer Wrestler Luke Branquinho. The Los Alamos, Calif., cowboy got off to a good start by posting three sub 4-second runs, including winning the first round and the finals, to finish first in the average in 10.6 seconds on three head and pocket $15,787.

Reigning World Champion Barrel Racer Brittany Pozzi-Pharr repeated as champion at the National Western and collected $10,480. Pozzi-Pharr, of Victoria, Texas, finished first in the finals in 15.51 seconds en route to claiming the average title in 46.69 seconds on three runs to kick off another strong season.

Bareback rider Cleve Schmidt of Belle Fourche, S.D., also defended his Denver title, finishing with 254 points on three head to claim the average title and collecting $14,719.

Bull rider Spud Jones of Tohatchi, N.M., finished third in the finals, but the 78-point ride aboard Calgary Stampede’s Locomotion was just enough to clinch the average. Jones (238 points on three head) edged Tyler Johnston (237 points) by one point for the average title and collected $9,551.

Canadians frequently demonstrate their athleticism in PRCA rodeos, and Samuel Kelts of Millarville, Alberta, shined by claiming the saddle bronc riding average. Kelts had the lead heading into the finals with 175 points on two head and sealed the victory by winning the final round with an 89-point ride on Brookman Rodeo’s Good Times to pocket a total of $16,397.

Tyler Garten of Kingman, Kan., locked up the tie-down roping average by winning the final round in 8.2 seconds. He finished with a time of 26.0 seconds on three head and collected $12,127.           

3. Barrett-Corley tandem highlights personnel selections for 22nd DNCFR
For the first time since its inaugural rodeo in 1987, the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo is bringing back two legendary announcers to Holt Arena in Pocatello, Idaho. Hadley Barrett, a ProRodeo Hall of Famer and four-time PRCA Announcer of the Year, will share the announcer’s stand with his son-in-law, Randy Corley, a 10-time PRCA Announcer of the Year, for the 22nd DNCFR, March 19-22.

In addition, Corley’s daughter, Amanda, was chosen as one of the two timers for the annual rodeo.

A PRCA announcer for more than 40 years, Barrett, of Kersey, Colo., has been chosen to call the action at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo four times (1968, 1976, 1979 and 1983) and the National Finals Steer Roping twice (1967, 2007). He also served as Wrangler NFR television announcer for more than two decades.

Corley, a seven-time Wrangler NFR announcer (1985-86, 1992, 1994-96, 2007), also worked the 1997 DNCFR and many of the PRCA’s elite rodeos.

The personnel list for the DNCFR is: announcers – Barrett and Corley; bullfighters – Kelly Jennings of Shoshone, Idaho, and Al Sandvold of Belgrade, Mont.; barrelman – Frankie Smith of Easley, S.C.; specialty act – Max Reynolds of Lexington, Neb.; pickup men – Butch Braden of Welch, Okla., and Jason Bottoms of Corsicana, Texas; rodeo secretary – Linda Alsbaugh of Alamosa, Colo.; assistant rodeo secretary – Cathy Wieferich of Sidney, Mont; and timers – Corley of Laramie, Wyo., and Kathy McCloy of Ottumwa, Iowa.

The rodeo, held in Pocatello since 1987, annually showcases champions from each of the country's 12 regional circuits in an exciting elimination format.

Both Sandvold and Smith will make their Pocatello debuts. Jennings was chosen as DNCFR bullfighter in 2005, and Reynolds worked the 1990 DNCFR as specialty act.

4. Rodeo News and Notes
Duarte stands tall in Rapid City. Oft-injured Myron Duarte, who missed most of the 2007 season with a shoulder injury, displayed his talents as a healthy bull rider last weekend at the season opener of the Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour, presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, in Rapid City, S.D. Duarte, of Auburn, Wash., rode three bulls for 241 points – featured by a 91-point ride in the final round – to win the Tour’s average and an event-best $9,212.

Duarte, an eight-time qualifier for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and reserve world champion in 2002, finished sixth in the first round with an 80 and didn’t place in the second round. In the final round, however, he rode Burns Rodeo’s Bo Alameda for 91 points to vault him to the top, four points better than Bobby Welsh of Gillette, Wyo.

Kanin Asay of Powell, Wyo., the top-earning cowboy during the 10-stop 2007 Xtreme Bulls Tour, also rode three bulls and scored 235 points to finish third.

Cody Hancock of Taylor, Ariz., the 2000 world champion and 2007 Rapid City champion on the Dodge Xtreme Bulls Tour, was the top rider on two head, scoring 174 points. His 87-point ride was the top score of the second round. Tony Smart of Newton, Miss., took the early lead by topping the first-round chart with a score of 88 points.

Both Hancock and Smart recorded their round-winning rides aboard Broken Arrow Rodeo’s China Grove.

Fort Worth action winds down. The Southwestern Livestock Exposition and Rodeo, one of the winter’s most prestigious rodeos with a total purse nearing $500,000, wraps up Sunday, Feb. 3at the Will Rogers Coliseum.

The 30-performance event started Jan. 19 and features many of ProRodeo’s top cowboys and cowgirls.

First- and second-round action is complete in bareback riding, with Zach Dishman of Beaumont, Texas; Jessy Davis of Payson, Utah; and James Sursa of Bluebell, Utah, sharing top honors in the first round with respective 82-point rides, good for $1,387 each. In the second round, reigning Fort Worth bareback riding champion Evan Jayne, a native of Marseille, France now living in Huntsville, Texas, and Sursa each earned $1,687 after recording rides of 82 points.

The top 12 contestants with the top combined scores and times from preliminary rounds will compete in the final round, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (CST) Feb. 3.
