Annual 101 Wild West Rodeo Ends

 

By BOB PATTERSON - News City Editor

It was not a dark and stormy night. Matter of fact, the Moon was just making an appearance (full) in the east horizon when announcer Dr. Lynn Phillips said, “Welcome, rodeo fans to the 101 Wild West Rodeo.”


That was the setting for Saturday’s final night of the 2011 edition of the 101 Wild West Rodeo. And there must have been something telling folks that this was going to be a really good one, as the east and west bleachers were filling up, and the northeast and northwest angle bleachers were getting a lot of folks. Chute heaven was at its best, as were the boxes along the fence lines, despite the precarious possibility of getting splattered with some mud and water.


And contestants of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association didn’t let the crowd down, nor did the Andrews Rodeo Company with the stock utilized on the final night of the 2011 rodeo.


It all made for an exciting time. And it was the final event, bull riding that proved to be the most beneficial to a performer, and pleasing to the crowd. While all but one got bucked by the Andrews Rodeo Company bulls, Reid Butler of Comfort, Texas, made a comfortable landing on both feet, with arms up stretched, after riding Top Gear. It earned him an 87 and only one of two riders for the three-night performance to get the job done in eight seconds. As a result, he finished with a total of $2,079 while second went to Thursday’s Hagen Garrett Knighten of Huntsville, Texas, with a 78 on Vicious Bender for a total of $1,771, according to Jennie Murray, rodeo secretary for the Andrews Stock Company in the 101 Wild West Rodeo.


The scoring events for the rodeo, including bull riding, were the only events to produce changes at the top of the leader board.


In the very first event of the night, bareback riding, Chris Harris of Itasca, Texas, fashioned an 83 on Hornet for first, and that got him $1,159.95. Also on Saturday, Evan Jayne of Marseille, France, took a 70 on Vodka, and that got him fifth place in the event, for $246.05.


Also, in saddle bronc riding, Keith Allen Brauer Jr., of Freeburg, Ill., scored a 79 on Rusty. That put him into a three-way tie for first with Justin Browning of Sulphur, La., and Will Payne of Beaver, who had 79s on Friday as the wind and rain began to cause havoc with the rest of that night’s performance. The three got $986.73 apiece.


Unfortunately for contestants in the girl’s barrel racing the last two nights, the going was tough and none could break the 20-second running that was accomplished during near perfect conditions on Thursday’s regular performance and slack that night. Top was the 17.65 during slack on Thursday by Jeanne Anderson of White City, Kan., for $1,106.23.


There were some really good times in the steer wrestling on Saturday, three of which finished in the money. But none could top the two in front from Checotah, Spud Duvall with 3.5 and Riley Duvall with 3.6 on Thursday. John Kloeckler of Checotah had a 4.0 to finish third for $916.04 and Zac Parrington of Hoyt Kan., had 4.2 for fourth and $674.97 on Saturday. Joining them was the 4.7 by Chancey Larson of Manhattan, Kan., for sixth place and $241.06.


In tie-down roping slack on Thursday proved to have the top two at the end of the performances, including Hunter Herrin of Apache at 8.5 for $1,625.45 and Ponca City’s Jerome Schneeberger at 8.6 for $1,345.20.


Saturday saw two more in tie-down roping get in the money, with Cole Bailey of Okmulgee finishing in third place on a 9.2 for $1,064.95 and Rhett Riding from Rocky, with 9.5 for $504.45, finishing fifth.


Team ropers from Dewey, Colt Braden and Tanner Braden, got the effort accomplished in 5.5 but it landed them in third place for the event. That was worth $1,015.31 each.
