Texas Trifecta Bonus Brought Excitement to State Finals Rodeo
WCRA Division Youth brought the Texas Trifecta Bonus to the 2024 THSRA State Finals Rodeo in June and it added a layer of suspense and excitement as the story unfolded until the last ride.
All regional event champions were in contention for the cash bonus award; and after the dust settled five contenders had completed all three steps of the Texas Trifecta and split the prize, each going home with an additional $4,000.
WCRA DY brought the $20,000 bonus to the 2024 THSRA State Finals Champion along with a direct path to the over $200,000 added Cinch World Championship Junior Rodeo (WCJR) at the Lazy E Arena in July 2024.
The “WCRA DY Texas Trifecta” offered a $20,000 cash bonus to any THSRA athlete (or collection of athletes) who won their respective discipline;
· First in their region
· Won at least one go-round of competition at the THSRA State Finals
· Won THSRA State Championship
The following THSRA discipline were eligible; bareback, steer wrestling, barrel racing, breakaway roping, tie-down roping, saddle bronc, goat tying, heading, heeling, pole bending, and bull riding.
In addition to the cash bonus, THSRA Finals athletes voluntarily nominated the event in the Virtual Rodeo Qualifier (VRQ) to give them the chance to earn an invite to the 2024 World Championship Junior Rodeo (WCJR) held in Guthrie, Oklahoma in July. The highest placing nominated athletes in each discipline will earn the invitation to the $200,000 added prize money event. WCJR is open to any youth athlete ages 19 and under.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
Another state finals is in the books. Every year, the level of talent in both Gonzales and Abilene is second to none, and everyone brings their A Game. Region 1 is proud to send several competitors to both the junior high and high school national finals. Truitt Harris qualified in the saddle bronc steer riding and Sterling Bruce made it in the chute dogging. They will be going to the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Des Moines, Iowa. Representing Region 1 at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Rock Springs, Wyoming are Mattie Colberly in the girls cutting, Cooper Noland and Bayleigh Melton in the reined cow horse, and Colee Cox in the goat tying. I had the chance to sit down with Sterling Bruce and Colee Cox to discuss with them their state finals runs and their plans to keep their winning ways going into Nationals. Here’s what they said.
Colee Cox
Colee got Region 1 on their feet with her three blazing runs this year in the goat tying. Colee was a 6.19, 7.38, and a 6.76 on her three goats to bring home the Reserve State Championship. Since she won the state title last year, Colee certainly had a target on her back all
Region 1 Is Headed to the Big Show
week long. She said, “I was looking for a repeat until I got hurt before we went. And so then I was just slowing down and staying in the average so I could still go to Nationals.” In the short round, it was a knife fight with another region competitor clocking a 6.01 to win the round. Even with the stiff competition, Colee kept her cool and made a solid run to clinch her spot to Rock Springs. Colee said, “I knew I just needed to go be smooth. I think I had four tenths on the number three girl and the number one girl had half a second on me. I was just going to make my same run and see where the cards fell.” Going into Nationals, Colee says she is going to “tie my two goats and hopefully make it back to the short round.” Colee will be one to keep an eye on in Wyoming. Good luck to you from all of Region 1.
Sterling Bruce
In Gonzales, Sterling started strong with a 2.14 in the first performance. That held up for 4th in the round, and he carried that momentum into the next rounds, clocking a 3.26 in the second round to come back third high call on Saturday. A 3.82 in the short round clinched Sterling his first trip to the big show in Iowa. An interesting fact was that Sterling qualified to Nationals in almost the same fashion as his older brother Cutter two years earlier, placing in multiple rounds and the average, and splitting the fourth place spot. In preparation for Nationals, Sterling plans to work more on his mental game and just “go out there and do it.” In Iowa, Sterling shared that he would “really want the stronger ones so I can just jump out there and let them pull me up.” Sterling has been on many big stages in his rodeo career so far, and is capable of handling the pressure of the NJHFR. Region 1 wishes you the best of luck.
For all of the Region 1 national qualifiers, we are praying for safe travels. We look forward to watching all of you. You will represent the Region 1 brand well.

he week spent in Abilene, Texas at the Texas High School Rodeo State Finals is unlike any other week. Some common themes throughout the time spent on the rodeo grounds in Abilene are camaraderie, competition, and fun. Region II had many competitors competing and aside from the results, one thing remained the same, getting to see your friends from across the state never gets old.
Known for being a grueling, tiresome week. State finals are unlike any other when it comes to the friendships, bonds, and memories made. From getting the chance to compete against the toughest cowboys and cowgirls from across the state of Texas to riding
CAMARADERIE, COMPETITION & FUN!
around on the golf cart late at night with your best friends. The fun had in Abilene is a reward for the time spent in the practice pen, the hours spent working to better yourself to be able to perform at your best when your name is called over the loudspeaker. While you may be competing against others from your region they become your biggest cheerleaders. Seeing others from your region succeed is the greatest gift of all. Many lifelong friends were made during the week of State Finals. For some, the State finals are the first big event of the summer. Using this time to grow as a competitor, friend and horseman is something only accomplished by the THSRA.
Speaking with Brooke Choate, a Region II member and State qualifier, was very insightful. Getting to hear a different perspective of the week in Abilene shows that everyone has different things they love about State Finals week and how competitors prepare for the long week of competition. Brooke said that her favorite part of the week “was seeing all of my friends, the experience of being able to qualify and then compete against the best in the state.” She also mentioned the adrenaline rush she gets when either running down the alley or backing into the box is second to none. When asked about what she did to prepare for her week in Abilene, she said “Preparing for a week like this is extremely hard, things can change in an instant. However, having your horse in the best shape possible and looking their best takes a lot of the pressure off. Time spent in the practice pen is really what helped me prepare for this week.” All contestants who qualified to ride in Abilene are among the most elite group of high schoolers in the state. They all had different paths to make it but they all led to the same destination.
As for Region II, Kaitlee Wyatt, a senior in her final State Finals appearance, spent her week not only competing but keeping those who were unable to attend up to date with all that was happening in Abilene through the Region II Instagram account. Using a platform such as Instagram allows people to be in on the action and know who is up on what days. With such a competitive region and multiple national qualifiers, Kaitlee is highlighting our region’s successes one Instagram Story at a time.
All in all, the amount of memories made between all the contestants is what makes THSRA State Finals such a great experience. Being able to connect with new and old friends in one place for a whole week makes saying goodbye to this week so hard, but knowing that the next State Finals is only a year away gives contestants something to look forward to, a goal to accomplish. As for the seniors, they will go on to do such great things in this industry and hold the memories made from State Finals week close to their hearts. Thank you to the city of Abilene for cultivating such an amazing week for Region II and the THSRA.

Aweek in Abilene is what everyone that high school rodeos in Texas' goal is.
It’s a unique atmosphere that young rodeo athletes get to be in for a week. Anyone outside of the atmosphere sees it as a place to compete but to everyone else it becomes a place to reunite with friends, make new ones, have fun, and do what you love most for a week. No one leaves the Texas State High School Finals Rodeo without a memorable experience. This opportunity gives the best 100 rodeo athletes in each event and in Texas to compete against each other for the state title. Every rodeo athlete around the state spends countless hours working on being their best, practicing, and being able to perform at their best just to enjoy the time spent at the state finals. Regardless of who you compete against in the arena every single soul on that facility is going to turn around and be your loudest cheerleader when your name is called.
That is what gives Abilene such a special atmosphere. Another event that happens at THSRA finals is a church service held after every morning perf. Allowing contestants to hear inspirational stories from NFR contestants and other people that make an impact in the rodeo industry all while enjoying a nice barbeque lunch provided by the city of Abilene. The THSRA finals is a perfect event to get elementary kids involved in rodeo also and they do just that. THSRA holds a special needs rodeo every year to allow kids with disabilities to get the full experience of a rodeo athlete. Contestants help teach kids how to

rope, ride fake saddle bronc, and show them the barrel pattern. They also add mutton Bustin to a performance to allow kids to compete against each other in hopes of having the highest score and winning a buckle. As time was spent speaking with the Region 3 members that competed at state was very interesting as they all talked about that they loved most about the week and what do they do to prepare for it. Getting to know how each event competitor prepares beforehand for the week.
For Breckyn Tippen, barrel racer headed to nationals, her favorite part of state “my favorite part was making friends from other regions and getting to know them. While preparing for state the hardest part was maintaining a good mental game knowing that you are competing against 100 of the toughest girls in the state and anything can happen in a week”
Rendon Powelage a header that is also headed to nationals, states that “I went to a ton of jackpots and practices to prepare for the week at state, practice with someone that is good and is willing to help you get better” His favorite part was winning second in the team roping.
Kameryn White a goat tier, says “Her favorite part is the competition…, spending time practicing with the competition really helps you push yourself the week before state and will get you prepared”
The time spent at THSRA is unlike any other event. THSRA offers opportunities like no other, making it the best state to rodeo in and of course allowing everyone that participates in the association unforgettable memories. Its a place that everyone looks forward to going to in hopes of starting summer off right.
THSRA always turns out to be a successful event for anyone that attends. Whether it be for shopping, cheering on a contestant, or just having a good time and hanging out with friends, there is no doubt that you will leave that place with a smile on your face and memories that will last a lifetime. All in all, THSRA finals held in Abilene Texas never disappoints. As nationals is right around the corner, Region Three is proud to send off 21 contestants to Nationals! We want to wish the best of luck to every contestant that has put in the hard work and earned a trip to Rock Springs, Wyoming. Hoping for safe travels and another success ful week!

The folks at McCoy’s Building Supply understand that it takes a lot of hard work and the whole family pitching in to get things done on a farm or ranch. That’s why we’d like to take some time out to salute Texas High School Rodeo Association families who are farmers and ranchers. In our monthly Farm & Ranch Family Spotlight, we’ll feature one family, sharing their story of how they work together as a family to make their farm or ranch successful. The spotlight will run for 10 months; each month will feature a different Region. Each Regional McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family will receive a $100 McCoy’s Gift Card. The McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family of the Year received a $500 McCoy’s Gift Card and was announced at the 2024 THSRA State Finals.
CFarm & Ranch Family of the year! The Shofner Family of Region VIII
by Hannah Watts
ongratulations to the McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family of the Year, the Shofner family from Region 8. Led by Clint and Darcy Shofner, alongside their children Jack and Tilden, the Shofners exemplify a life deeply rooted in faith, hard work, and community service.
In the heart of Pleasanton, Texas, the Shofner family embodies the quintessential Texan spirit, intertwining their passion for rodeo, ranching, and family values into a rich tapestry of life experiences. Led by Clint and Darcy Shofner, alongside their children Jack and Tilden, the Shofners exemplify a life deeply rooted in faith, hard work, and community service.
Clint and Darcy Shofner, proud parents of Jack and Tilden, both THSRA members, instill in their children the values of perseverance, dedication, and camaraderie. With Jack in his second year and Tilden in her first year of THSRA membership, rodeo runs in their blood, having previously been active members of the Texas Junior High Rodeo Association (TJHRA).
Jack’s repertoire includes calf roping, team roping as a heeler, and chute dogging, earning him accolades such as three-time National Light Rifle Qualifier and 2022 TJHRA State Champion Light Rifle.
Tilden, a versatile competitor, excels in Pole Bending, Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping, Team Roping, Light Rifle, and even Queen Contests, boasting titles like 2022 Texas Junior High Rodeo Princess and 2024 THSRA Region 8 Champion Pole Bender.
The Shofner Land Services, LLC, established in 2007, is a testament to Clint and Darcy’s entrepreneurial spirit. Operating in the oilfield and private ranch sectors, the family business also encompasses a cow/calf and hunting operation in LaSalle and Medina counties.
When not immersed in rodeo or managing their
business ventures, the Shofners find solace in outdoor activities like shooting sports, hunting, and fishing. Family gatherings are marked by Clint’s culinary prowess, Jack’s musical talents, Tilden’s baking skills, and Darcy’s knack for event planning and décor.“We want to instill in our kids that through prayer and hard work this is the life and path the Lord
has sent us down,” said Darcy.
With Clint at the helm of field operations and Darcy overseeing administrative duties, Jack and Tilden are integral contributors, homeschooling through Liberty University online while actively participating in all aspects of the family businesses.
The Shofners’ commitment to the rodeo community extends beyond competition. They actively support the THSRA through committee involvement, sponsorship, and volunteerism, recognizing the association’s role in shaping their children’s character and work ethic.
From building their first family home in Gonzales to outfitting their ranch and rodeo endeavors, McCoy’s has been a trusted ally. The Shofners’ fond memories of shared experiences underscore the invaluable role McCoy’s plays in their lives. Through faith, hard work, and a deep-rooted commitment to family and community, the Shofner family epitomizes the enduring spirit of Texas. Their journey serves as a testament to the power of unity, resilience, and unwavering dedication to one’s passions and principles.
“The Floresville McCoy’s is a short drive away and Tim Gunn and his crew are amazing! Very kind and helpful!”, said Darcy. The Shofners’ partnership with McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family exemplifies their dedication to local businesses. McCoy’s long standing support and reliable supply of ranching and rodeo essentials have been instrumental in the Shofners’ journey.

Texas State Finals are a wrap and Region IV was well represented with many talented athletes at both the Junior High and High School level. Region IV is proud to be sending the following athletes on to National Finals: TJHRA Reserve Champion Chute Dogger Lucas Dunn, TJHRA State Champion Team Ropers Levi Berry and Cooper Brittain, and THSRA State Champion Breakaway Roper Kate Reynolds.
State Champion Kate Reynolds set a goal to make the best possible run on the
Region IV: A Rodeo Family
stock she drew at State Finals. In the first round she was right on the barrier to win the round. Round 2 she laid off the barrier a bit for another solid run to come back first in the average. Kate knew she drew a good calf in the short round and went for the win finishing her rookie finals with 7.35 on three head. “Representing Texas at the National Finals is an amazing opportunity I never thought I’d be able to achieve,” stated Kate. When looking back at her success throughout this season and at State Finals, Kate gave thanks for her rodeo community. “There are so many people who have helped me get where I am. My parents, calf pushers, and people who have helped me with my roping all who have contributed to my success for which I will forever be grateful.”
Rodeo community played a significant role in the life of another Region IV athlete this season as he overcame injury to compete at this year’s State Finals. Team roper Kameron Loud was seriously injured at a roping in Wickenburg, Arizona back in December. The roping injury resulted in a ten hour surgery to reattach his thumb followed by four additional surgeries and a total of fifteen blood transfusions. When asked about his injury and the road to recovery Kam stated, “Our rodeo community is like family. Everybody just came together to help out when I got hurt.” Miraculously Kam was able to return to roping two months following the injury and qualified with his partner Jadon Bailey to compete at State Finals.
Senior SadieGrace Lovell finished her rodeo season as the Region IV All Around Cowgirl and qualified for State Finals in pole bending and goats. When asked about her goals coming into State Finals, SadieGrace shared “ My goals were simple: have fun, do my best in each round, and above all give the glory to God whatever the outcome.” Well, SadieGrace did just that. She set the bar in the poles with two clean 19 second runs to go into the short go first in the average. General, the pole horse SadieGrace competed on at Finals was borrowed from rodeo friend Emily Castillo. “He is such an amazing horse and I was so fortunate to be able to ride him,” stated SadieGrace. Although the team did not finish clean in the short go their runs in the first two rounds were nothing short of perfection. SadieGrace remains grateful for the friendships and memories made, and the encouragement she has received over the years from her Region IV rodeo family.

State Finals for Region IV seniors
Logan Yarbrough, Jhett Akins, and Jacob Rogers was about more than their tie down runs in the arena. When asked about the friendships they have built through high school rodeo they each had similar thoughts about the years spent practicing, hauling, and competing together. For these three it has never been about one against the other. Akins commented, “We have always encouraged each other to do and be better; we want each other to be successful.” Rogers shared, “Our flanking and tying matches have always given us opportunities to learn from each other and left us better rodeo athletes than when we showed up.” When asked how their friendships would change with each of them heading off to different Southwest
Region colleges in the fall Yarbrough stated with confidence, “In regard to our friendship, I am sure next school year won’t be any different. Sure we will be farther apart but we’ll be at all the same places, doing the same thing, and I couldn’t be more excited.” We are so proud of all our Region IV athletes. Good luck to those headed to Nationals and best wishes to all of our seniors. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for all of our Region IV rodeo family.

The dust has settled and another THSRA State finals has come and gone in Abilene, Texas. As everyone recuperates from an exciting and busy week, three region 5 athletes prepare to travel to Gillette, Wyoming July 14th-20th.
Senior Region 5 member Harley Odom will travel to Nationals for the second year in a row to compete in the light rifle competition. This is a family tradition for Harley. Her cousins Jake Kahla and Sydni Cain both qualified to compete in light rifle at nationals during their time in high school rodeo as well. Harley said her favorite thing about state was, “Getting to rodeo every day and hanging out with her fiends and family.”
Jayden Guidry, also a senior and no stranger to national competition will com-

pete in pole bending for her second consecutive year. Jayden said, “My favorite part of state was making it back to nationals! Since I made it to nationals last year I wasn’t sure if I could actually do it again, but Roany tried her best for me and we let God do the rest!”
Senior Ty Neal is state Champion for steer wrestling! He won round 2 and had the best time of the entire week! He says he can do just as well in Wyoming. When asked about his experience at state, Ty said, “ My favorite parts of state were just hanging out at the rodeo and hanging with my friends” Time spent doing what they love with their friends seemed to be the favorite part of state for most of the kids.
Gracelann Brown made it all the way to the short round and when asked, Gracelann said, “My favorite part of state wasn’t the fact that I had clean runs or even making the short go. My favorite part was getting to meet new people and spending time with ones I already knew. Senior Lexie Orchosky said, “This was my first and last year to make it to state. My favorite part was hanging with friends, family, and especially the cooking after the rodeos. I am very thankful for my horse and the three solid runs that she gave me.”
High School Rodeo is so much more than just the sport itself. It comes with great opportunities to meet some amazing people and make lifelong memories. This sport is not just a competition, it is a lifestyle. Thank you to everyone that worked hard to make the state competition a success. Congratulations to all the winners and best of luck to all the national qualifiers.

Lucy Richards 2024 Whatakid of the Year
by Hannah Watts
Congratulations to Lucy Richards from Region II, this year’s Whatakid of the Year. Lucy is from Hereford, Texas and is a Senior at Vega High School. She competes in breakaway, goat tying.
Lucy began her rodeo career at the age of four, she stated it was not love at first sight. During his first ever rodeo Lucy claimed she cried the whole way during her run. Her outlook on rodeo soon changed and Lucy fell in love with the sport.
“I didn’t really do great at the junior high state finals, but when I got to high school, I finally figured out, like, how to win, I guess,” said Lucy. During her time with both TJHSRA and THSRA Lucy has made it to State 6 years.
This past State Finals in June, Lucy won the average in goats and ended up as the Reserve Champion Goat Tier. Lucy took home the All Around Cowgirl title as well.
Lucy has four horses she competes with, but her favorite of the four is Tweeter. He is 14 years old, breakaway and goat horse and is quite mischievous. Lucy said Tweeter likes to untie himself or unchain his gate, and let out all the mares. With the help of her dad, and sister Tweeter become Lucy’s go to horse.
Though rodeo does take up much of Lucy’s time, she is also involved in her high school athletics program. Lucy is on the varsity basketball team, runs cross country and track and plays golf. Lucy has been on Varsity for every sport she plays since her freshman year. Winning awards such as First Team AlI-District Basketball, TABC Region 2 All-Defensive Team, TABC All-Academic
Team, and making it to regionals in golf, track, and cross country. Lucy is the secretary of the National Honor Society at her high school and is also in the Student council. She has held nounours officer positions in both NHS and student council. Lucy has been on the A Honor roll list for 2021, 2022, 2023, and is currently working towards 2024. With the little bit of free time Lucy has between her extra curricular activities and school, she spends it hitting the New Mexico Slopes. “I love to ski, we go as much as we can as a family.”, said Lucy. Cooking is another favorite of Lucy’s, she said her favorite meal to make is green chili enchiladas.
After graduating from high school this coming May, Lucy plans to join her older sister Madeleine Richards at Texas A&M University in the coming fall. She wants to major in agricultural economics and continue her rodeo career with Texas A&M’s rodeo team. “My sister has always set a great example for me… when she was still in high school we would practice together, and make each other work harder,” said Lucy.
Lucy talked about her parents and how grateful she is to them for allowing her and her sister to do what they love. Lucy said her family is the reason behind her success. She also said her faith in God is what has helped make her better in every aspect of life. “ My favorite Bible verse is: But as for you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work. 2 Chronicles 15:7”, said Lucy. “Being the Whatakid of the month for Region II is an honor,” said Lucy.
What an exciting 10 days it has been in Abilene for Texas High School Rodeo Association State Finals. The Finals began with The Reined Cow Event and ended with Short Go Saturday. During the opening contestant meeting, where Region VI’s very own Taylor Martin was crowned Miss THRSA Runner Up, the contestants heard a message from Trey Johnson on “BFS”.
“BFS” stands for body language, focus and self-talk. What is your body language telling others about you? Does your body language in and out of the arena show others that you are winner? What are you focused on? Focus on the things you can control. Focus on your preparation, practice, and
REGION VI FINALS RECAP
mindset. Does your self-talk encourage or discourage you? Look in the mirror and say “I AM A WINNER”. Always remember “WIN” what’s important now. Johnson also spoke to the contestants on having a daily success checklist. Not only does an athlete have to prepare for the event physically they also must prepare mentally for success.
Region VI rodeo athletes had a phenomenal few weeks between Texas Junior High School State Finals sending 12 athletes to Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa and Texas High School State Finals with 10 athletes qualifying for Nationals in Rock Springs, Wyoming and many others placing in rounds and making the Short Go. The most exciting of all is THSRA Region VI has two state champions, Devin Young in the Barrel Racing and Audrey Thibodeaux in Pole Bending.
Devin had an amazing week, she won the first round, placed second in the second round, placed third in the short go leaving her first in the average and our 2024 THSRA State Champion Barrel Racer. Devin is looking forward to being able to run her horse Tequila in a new arena as this is their first trip to Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Audrey also had a great week in Abilene, she was in the top 15 in the first round, placed 6th in the second round, won the short go and split the THSRA Pole Bending State Title. Heading to nationals Audrey is looking forward to competing against some of the best contestants around the world, meeting new people, making long lasting memories and most of all representing the greatest state, Texas.
Region VI showed out at the TJHRA and THSRA state finals. Congratulations to Miss THSRA Runner Up, round winners, short go qualifiers, and the 22 National qualifiers. Good luck in Des Moines, Iowa and Rock Springs, Wyoming. Region VI can’t wait to cheer you all on at Nationals.

in the Short Go with 2 competitors qualifying for Nationals. Header Jacob Stansbury and Heeler Colton Clayton not only made it to the short go, but were crowned the Team Roping Champions. They will head to Nationals in Rock Springs, WY. I caught up with Jacob Stansbury and he described his experience at the Texas High School Rodeo State Finals. He reported, “This was one of the best weeks I have had! I won everything I entered. When I knew I made it to Nationals, I was really excited but to be honest with you I was thinking about how in the world did my hat keep coming off my head. This happened to me on two of my three runs. ” I told him, “If you are tempted to buy a new hat, you should probably wait until after Nationals. He also had a message to the young cowboy and cowgirls. “Never give up, you got this!”
Region 7 High School Contestants assisted with the Special/Little Kid’s Rodeo. They were responsible for the poles and assisting contestants through the event. Dillon Mellado, Senior shared his experience. “It was fun! All of us got together to make this experience a good one for the contestants. You know they look up to us and we need to support the next generation in rodeo. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did.”
At the Junior High State Finals, Region 7 had 10 competitors compete in the Short Go with 5 competitors qualifying for Nationals. Trevor Scherer qualified in the Saddle Bronc. Jeffery Hayes qualified in the Tie Down. Tate Heard qualified in the Boys Breakaway and had the fastest time of the week with a 1.81. Charlie Sohrt was crowned the champion in Barrels and had the fastest time of the week with a 16.348. Peyton Bailey was crowned the champion in the Girls

breakaway and had the fastest time of the week with a 2.06. When talking with Peyton, she said, “My favorite part of the Junior High Finals was hanging out with my friends at the river and winning my event. I was so proud of myself and all of my hard work paid off. I am also proud of my horse.“
Region 7 Junior High Contestant participated in many events throughout the week. Region 7 was crowned the Volleyball Champions. Tenley Threadgill was on the volleyball team. She said, “It was SUPER fun and I would love to do it again next year. This was a tough decision but I believe Ryan Ehlinger was probably MVP for our team. He was very good at serving the ball and saved a lot of the balls.” Meagan Garcia and her fur back Macey Mae won the all around in the dog race. Meagan really enjoyed TJHRA and said, “It was a really great experience. I created a bunch of memories with friends and family. My favorite events were definitely the dog races and the volleyball tournament.” Maci Cook and her dad Cody participated in the parent ribbon roping. Maci reported, “It was really fun. I loved watching all the parents that dress up. It’s really funny to see my dad try something that he is always telling me that I am doing wrong. We didn’t win it but we did win the Region 7 side pot.”
Big shout to our 2032-2024 Officers for your hard work and dedication. You created a lot of fun activities for all to enjoy. Volleyball, gaga ball, steer saddling, dog races, and dances through the year bonded Region 7 as a family. Thank you again to High School Officers President Hailey Harkness, Vice President Sammi Hubert, Secretary Chloe Schoenberg, and Reporter/ Queen Lia Eller. Thank you Junior High Officer President Maci Cook, Vice President Gunner Hightower, and Secretary Carson Wensel.

Avery Wardlaw made it in the top 15 in the pole bending. Logan Harlan made it into the boys cutting event. Craig Sciba came into the short round in second place in steer wrestling and Carly Colvin made it in the short go in the reined cow horse event. Craig Sciba, Logan Harlan, Tilden Shofner, Jack Shofner, and Campbell Pegues were the Region VIII national qualifiers after this year's state finals. Logan Harlan and Tilden Shofner gained the state titles in their respective events. Jack Shofner was the reserve champion in the light
That’s A Wrap
rifle and Campbell Pegues and Craig Sciba earned third in the state in their events. Tilden Shofner, state champion in the light rifle, was extremely excited and grateful to be named champion in her event especially since her brother was right there alongside her. Competing against each other always gave way to friendly competition between the two and it made it more special since they help each other out when they need it. To Tilden this made it even more thrilling to be able to come out as 1st and 2nd together. Tilden was also proud of how the rest of her week went. This year she competed in barrels, poles, breakaway, light rifle shooting, and the queen contest. It was a very busy week and a half for her as her preparation for the finals was intense. Regarding how it went she stated, “I’m also extremely grateful and proud of making it to the short go round in the pole bending in 7th place. I knew I had a lot going on, but I trusted in the Lord’s plan, and he delivered as always.” This was a big accomplishment
LIGHT RIFLE STATE CHAMPION, TILDEN SHOFNER
for Shofner as a freshman in high school. For Tilden, getting to go to state finals is always a blessing and so much fun. She loves hanging out with her friends, making new ones, and competing in her events. Her favorite part about state finals this year was getting to spend time with family, friends and her horses and winning the title of 2024 state champion light rifle shooter.
Shofner was not planning to shoot this year but with some convincing from her dad, she decided to go for it! To prepare for light rifle competition her and her brother Jack went to shoot almost every morning for 2-3 weeks leading
to state. They both practiced each discipline daily and worked on whatever they struggled with. Being able to practice with her brother gave Shofner the confidence she needed to succeed. He helped by giving her pointers and kept things entertaining. Shofner hopes to continue practicing diligently so she can represent Texas well at nationals.
All the Region VIII national qualifiers worked hard for their spots to go to Rock Springs, Wyoming. They will help put Texas on top and represent the region and state well.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
By BRAYLEE DYER – Performance Reporter
Aweek in Abilene, Texas, for the Texas High School Rodeo Association State Finals, is always an eventful one that is filled with many highs and many lows. Some competitors come out as champions while others learn valuable lessons, but we all gain memories that will last a lifetime. At the State Finals our Region 9 contestants got to enjoy spending time with friends, entering nightly jackpots, and competing in stiff competition. With 10 Regions across the State of Texas, the State Finals is a chance for all the
Memories for a Lifetime
Regions to come together as one big family.
In Texas, many of the contestants have rodeoed around each other at least once before but may not get to see each other every few weekends like the contestants in the same region do. The State Finals allow the competitors to connect with one another and share their common love for the sport. Our Region 9 crew also enjoyed sharing the sport of rodeo with both little kids and special needs kids in the Special Kids Rodeo. Region 9 had many willing contestants offer to teach the kids how to run barrels, how to rope, and letting them ride a bucking haybale. It is always a pleasure to give back to the sport that has given all of us contestants so much.
Throughout the week several Region 9 contestants competed in the nightly jackpots where the competition was just as heated. With great stock, contestants would enter to make some practice runs to keep their skills sharp and hopefully win some money. The jackpots were also a chance for the contestants spend time together and get an idea of what was to come from the other competitors.
Region 9 overall had a great State Finals. With nineteen short-go qualifiers, six National qualifiers, and three State Champions, we are beyond proud of all their hard work and achievements. Qualifying for nationals from Region 9, Pace Plemons in the Calf Roping and Kenna Thomas in the Goat Tying. Along with Kristopher Baker qualifying as the Reserve State Champion in the Bull Riding. Ethan Cart, Saddle Bronc rider from Region 9, took Abilene by storm in winning both the average and State title. Cart admits that he was not confident going into the State Finals, but when it came time to perform, he rose to the occasion and put his doubts aside. Drew Ellen Stewart gave the State Finals everything she had and came out as the Goat Tying State Champion, Pole Bending State Co-Champion, and won the THSRA State Finals All- Around Cowgirl. Stewart left last year’s State Finals with disappointment and made goals to be sure she did not have the same results. Stewart tied all three of her goats in sub seven seconds and had three impressive pole runs all in the twenty second range. All of Region 9’s National qualifiers are hardworking and driven individuals with ambitious goals. Qualifying for Nationals in the State of Texas is a huge accomplishment, and we wish all those representing Texas the best of luck in Rock Springs, Wyoming.
The THSRA State Finals was one for the books and team Texas will no doubt be a force to reckon with at Nationals. From hanging out with friends to competing in stiff competition, the week in Abilene goes by way too quickly.
