PERFORMANCE REPORT

Off with a Bang!

By KASHLEE SCHUMACHER – Performance Reporter

All I can say is wow. Region one has started off its season with a bang! Already having six rodeos under our belt man there is a lot of stories.

Starting it all off with two of our region one barrel racers. The Cathy girls had a great first rodeo. Bently Cathy, Freshman, ran the fastest time of the day at Perryton with a 17.4. Ridley Cathy, 6th grader, ran the fastest time of the junior high with a 17.8.

Both pulling a 1st place check. Now the interesting part of these Wheeler Tx sisters is that they both run amazing horses named Pearl. These are definitely two teams to watch this year. While we are on the subject of amazing teams, we have to talk about Avery Armstrong, freshman, and her lineup. Avery won the all-around at a several rodeos. She has two bay speed pony's that she runs. Her pole pony Money has super-fast feet helping Avery win Sunday at the Hereford rodeo with a 21.1. Then her dynamic pair bonnie and Clyde. Clyde her barrel is the other spectacular bay pony. He makes the same path every time. Bonnie is her goat horse that comes with a lot of speed! Then she has her roping horses Fabio and Misfit, who help her excel in the breakaway and team roping. Make sure to keep an eye on this all-around cowgirl! The Hereford rodeo gave out funny prize gift cards donated by HF and C. If you won you got an HF an C gift card. Cye Franzen won a girt card for the fastest time with a faceplate. Jaylee Lane won a gift card for hardest on the equipment. They also gave away event winner hats, which is different to region 1. Everyone really liked this fun twist the Whiteface Rodeo team brought to their rodeo. Now we need to talk about a rookie that is bringing the heat this semester! Joslyn Kimble, 6th grader, is taking region 1 by storm. She is currently leading the race for rookie of the year. She competes in the barrels, poles, goat tying, and breakaway roping. She is definitely one to watch this year and all the years to come in her THSRA career. The boys have also been going strong at the last few rodeos. Hugh Brown and Jaxon Stoker have been battling it out at every rodeo for the all around. They even tied at the Gruver rodeo. Jaxon competes in the tie-down and team roping. Hugh competes in multiple events including steer wrestling, tie-down, and team roping. Fun fact about Hugh he came to region 1 from Virginia! His parents are originally from Australia. Such a neat origin story for this all-around cowboy! Sadly, we do have a few injuries in our region. Kail Brunson, Sophomore, was in a horse accident a few days after the Hereford rodeo. He will not be roping at the upcoming rodeo in Amarillo. Caison Burrus, senior, got a little banged up after his ride Saturday of the Hereford rodeo. He ended up with a concussion, HUGH BROWN AND JAXSON STOCKER ALL AROUND WINNERS AT CHILDRESS but he got to ride at the Childress rodeo. Cooper Noland, freshman, had an accident on the football field, and broke his wrist. It will be a while before Cooper comes back. Be on the lookout for

BENTLY AND RIDLEY CATHEY AND THEIR PEARLS AVERY ARMSTRONG AND MONEY

a comeback from these cowboys.

Ridley Timberlake, senior, is our current serving region 1 student president. She has been elected student president the last three years in a row! If that doesn't show a great leader, I don’t know what does! She has done so much for the region in her time serving. It will be sad to see her go.

We will wrap up our fall rodeos with Amarillo, November 5th and 6th. We will have two rodeos in the spring. The entries need to be post marked by march 1st for both rodeos. The first will be in Childress on the 25th and 26th of March. That rodeo will be the Jr high finals. Then we will have the high school region finals in Childress the 1st and 2nd of April. I want to wish everyone good luck in the spring semester of rodeos on behalf of all of Region 1!
