I love being the bearer of good news. Two Decembers ago, I got to tell Sherry Cervi she’d clinched her third world title after the ninth round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Today I got to tell Carlee Pierce that she was the No. 1 cowgirl in the WPRA ProRodeo Standings for the first[...]

I have to be honest: I liked the chances of PRCA cowboys Rope Myers and Nathan Klassen in the reality series “Full Metal Jousting.” So far, they haven’t disappointed. Myers dominated his match, which aired last week. Klassen, who has been a friend for a number of years, did the same thing in the episode[...]

Cody Graham might’ve had one of the best stories of all the $50,000 winners from this past weekend’s finale at RodeoHouston. You see, Graham’s partner was unable to compete at the event, so he was paired with veteran Monty Petska. The two had never roped together before their first round inside Reliant Stadium. Graham told[...]

The 20 rodeo performances of RodeoHouston concluded Sunday afternoon, and although I didn’t get to watch the happenings inside Reliant Stadium, I’m still impressed. Today’s winners in barrel racing, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding all pocketed an additional $25,000. Only one of the 2012 RodeoHouston Super Series champs won Sunday, too:  Barrel[...]

When Lindsay Sears goes to the bank, she tends to make a big deposit. Sears and her great horse, Martha, won RodeoHouston with a 14.14-second run to edge Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier Carlee Pierce by one-hundredth of a second to win the $50,000 barrel racing prize in the Super Series Championship on Sunday afternoon.[...]

RodeoHouston ended with a tremendous bang on Saturday evening, from Kaycee Feild’s 93 point-ride on MGM Deuces Night to win bareback riding to Adam Gray’s 8.8-second ride to Lindsay Sears and Martha edging Carlee Pierce and Dillion by ONE-HUNDREDTH of a second. It was incredible. Congratulations to all the winners. Tie-down roping: 1. Adam Gray,[...]

I’ve got the TV set on March Madness, and I’ve got the computer set on RodeoHouston. Technology is awesome, and I’m glad I get to watch them both. Right now, we just wrapped up bronc riding in Reliant Stadium, where Cody DeMoss rode Carr Pro Rodeo’s Miss Congeniality to win the round and advance to[...]

Bull rider Bobby Welsh of Gillette, Wyo., is the only defending RodeoHouston champion who has a secured shot at repeating. He’s one of three 2011 winners still in the mix. Steer wrestler Stockton Graves of Newkirk, Okla., and saddle bronc rider Cort Scheer of Elsmere, Neb., will battle for the remaining two finale spots in[...]

The most stressful three days of RodeoHouston begin tonight with the wild card round, which features the 12 contestants in each discipline who did not place in the top four in the two semifinals. They will battle for the final two spots in tomorrow’s Super Series Championship. Taking just a sixth of the field means[...]
