Getting Ready for State

This past weekend the Jr high concluded their year off region rodeos and are ready to head off to state. Everyone did a great job this year but there were a few athletes I wanted to highlight.

All Around Boys Champion

The 2023 all-around champion cowboy is Hagen Spiva! Hagen was on fire this year winning the team roping, ribbon roping, and tie down. He was the reserve champion of the goat tying and the chute dogging. Hegan said that he is “excited about competing at state and doing his best for himself and his partners.” Gonzales better watch out for this dedicated cowboy because he says he plans on going to nationals in all his events. I want to wish Hagen

IAll Around Girls Champion

The 2023 all-around champion cowgirl is Kesslye Fuller! Kesslye also had a great year winning the goat tying. She is also going to state in the Breakaway, ribbon roping, and team roping. Kesslye says she is “most looking forward to goat tying and hanging out with her friends.” She also mentions loves getting to spend time with her rodeo family. Wishing good luck to thing cowgirl in Gonzales.
