1. Soon-to-be father earns big check in Rapid City
RAPID CITY, S.D. – There’s nothing like an expanding family to inspire a guy to dig a little deeper.
Bareback rider Mac Erickson can tell you a little bit about that after coming out of nowhere on Feb. 2 to win the bareback riding on the final night of the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.
The second man out in the Saturday night lineup, the Sundance, Wyo., cowboy was mounted on a bucking horse named Black Hills (probably a good omen) and vaulted to the top of the leader board with an 86-point ride, an effort that proved one point better than four-time World Champion Bobby Mote and Steven Dent, who tied for second.
“I didn’t know much about the horse, but she turned out to be everything you want in a bucking horse,” Erickson, 27, told the Rapid City Journal. “I know my wife is here and we have a baby boy going to join us in April, so this is big. Winning here really helps a bunch and will help me to get down the road.”
The other roughstock events also saw changes to the top of the leader board on the final night of this $199,294 rodeo, with Tyler Corrington tying home-state favorite Jeremy Meeks for the saddle bronc riding title and veteran bull rider Beau Hill completing a 91-point ride on Burch Rodeo Company’s Zombie Zoo to dislodge Nevada Newman from the top spot.
“I had that horse (C5 Rodeo’s Biff) in Cheyenne (Wyo.) last year,” Corrington said, “and he got 23 on both sides, so I knew I had my hands full. I knew I had to be aggressive and it felt like I got a little loose a couple times, but I kept going after him and it worked out. That was fun.”
The judges rewarded him with a score of 86 points, which equaled Meeks’ effort earlier in the week on Sutton Rodeo’s Time Rental. It was Meeks’ first rodeo appearance of the year, having spent the last few months home in Belle Fourche, S.D., tending cattle and spending time with family.
Hill completed the roughstock sweep by handling Zombie Zoo, the bull who bucked off World Champion Cody Teel in Round 9 of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo last December in four seconds and had a 92 percent buck-off rate last season.
“That bull has been one of the rankest bulls around here for the last few years,” Hill said. “He bucked me off a couple of years ago in Red Lodge (Mont.), so it felt good to get him back tonight. I won fourth in Denver last week and am heading to Disneyland with the kids in about six days, so it’s good.”
According to ProBullStats.com, it was the 13th score of 90 points or more in Hill’s career and he managed it despite a sprained left (riding) wrist that he injured the week before in Denver.
The other Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo champions were steer wrestlers Linn Churchill, Clay Cowan, J.B. Lord and Jim Roedeske (3.7 seconds each), team ropers Dustin Bird and Paul Eaves (3.8 seconds), tie-down ropers Cade Swor and Jake Hannum (8.5 seconds each); and barrel racer Britany Fleck (12.40 seconds).
A special mention should be made of that four-way tie in the bulldogging, where the average age of the winners was 38 – aided largely by the presence of 44-year-old former NFR qualifier Churchill and Badlands Circuit legend Lord, who earned his share of the title on Feb. 1, two days shy of his 53rd birthday.
“I just don’t believe that you have to be done when you are 40 or 50,” Lord told the Rapid City Journal. “Age is more a mental thing. If you think you can do it, you can, and for me it’s still a blast.”
2. Pelican State doubles prove elusive
Louisiana cowboys Winn First Ratliff and Heith DeMoss don’t get that many chances to compete near home during a ProRodeo season, so they appreciate the chance to show off a little bit in front of friends and family, as they did over the weekend.
Ratliff, a 23-year-old bareback rider from Leesville who made his Wrangler NFR debut in December, lived up to his name by winning first the SW District Fat Stock Show & Rodeo in Lake Charles, La., with an 86-point ride on Korkow Rodeos’ Satin Sheets. He also finished in a three-way tie for second at the Stampede at the Ike in West Monroe, La.
DeMoss, of Heflin, La., reversed that scenario, winning in West Monroe with an 84-pointer on Classic Pro Rodeo’s Fire Lake and then tying for second place with his brother, Cody, in Lake Charles, losing out to 19-year-old rookie Ty Kirkland of Lufkin, Texas, who had an 87-point ride on Korkow Rodeos’ Matrix. It was Kirkland’s first title as a card holder; he had five wins last year on his permit while earning $9,439.
Ratliff and DeMoss weren’t the only contestants to just miss out on a Pelican State double. Steer wrestler Drew Slade of Brooklyn, Miss., won in Lake Charles with a 3.5-second run and was second to Chase Hammons in West Monroe, while bull rider Brant Atwood of Granbury, Texas, had an 89-point ride on Frontier Rodeo Company’s Mask of Zorro to tie Eli Vastbinder for the win in Lake Charles and tied for second in West Monroe, four behind Friday Wright II’s 87-pointer on Classic Pro Rodeo’s Space Chimp. Wright had his top mark despite the effects of a sprained left thumb.
• Finally back to something like full health after a broken right (riding) hand and a hip injury decimated his 2012 season, bull rider Clayton Foltyn seems ready to make another run at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Foltyn’s win at the Feb. 1-3 Los Fresnos (Texas) PRCA Rodeo, with an 89-point ride on Brookman-Hyland Rodeo’s Damn It’s Good, was his first in a PRCA rodeo in 18 months – since July 30, 2011 in Helena, Mont. The $3,363 check he earned was his biggest since the 2011 WNFR. The other champions at the $53,721 rodeo were bareback riders Wes Stevenson and R.C. Landingham (84 points each), steer wrestler Austin Courmier (4.6 seconds), team ropers Chase Wiley and Ace Pearce (5.0 seconds), saddle bronc rider Sterling Crawley (84 points), tie-down roper Cody Lawrence (8.8 seconds) and barrel racer Carlee Pierce (17.37 seconds). Courmier, of Oakwood, Texas, is the 19-year-old son of four-time NFR steer wrestling qualifier Dan Courmier.
• For the first time this season, the Feb. 4 PRCA world standings have an entry in the all-around category, and you may have heard of the guy: Trevor Brazile, of Decatur, Texas. When Brazile and heeler Patrick Smith tied for fourth place in the team roping at the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo in Rapid City, S.D., over the weekend, it allowed Brazile to clear the $3,000 threshold in his second event; he was already over that mark in steer roping. Brazile has $12,899 and is chasing a record-extending 11th all-around gold buckle as world champion and a record-tying 18th world title overall.

3. Benton to miss a month with facial fractures
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Trey Benton III, the 2012 PRCA Resistol Bull Riding Rookie of the Year, is expected to miss at least a month of the season after suffering fractured bones on the right side of his face in a head-to-head collision with a bull at the Jan. 22 Xtreme Bulls Division 2 event in Fort Worth, Texas.
As if the broken bones were not enough, Benton developed an abscess under his right eye in the days after the incident and had to be rushed to a Houston-area hospital to have it lanced and drained. He is on a strong course of antibiotics.
The fractures, to the bones below the right eye and in the nasal cavity, occurred when Benton was jerked down on the 4L & Diamond S bull Open Season and went face-first into the back of the bull’s head.
“His helmet had a pretty good dent in it,” said Benton’s dad, Tom. “Trey thinks it might be OK to use again, but he’ll probably go get a new one.”
Benton had drawn the same bull in the eighth round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and was bucked off after what he thought was a foul coming out of the chute; the judges did not agree.
Scott Pickens, who handles the bulls for 4L & Diamond S, says Open Season has been having trouble exiting the chute cleanly. At (the X Bulls in) Fort Worth he caught a hip coming out, and got Benton out of position early.
“He’s not really giving the riders a fair chance as it is,” Pickens said. “I took him out of the second (day) rotation and I’ll work with him when we get back home. If we can’t solve the problem, we’ll take him out of the rotation permanently.”
Benton hopes to be back in action in time for the Matagorda County Fair & Rodeo in Bay City, Texas, Feb. 28 through March 2.
Pickup man Danny Cannon is out indefinitely with a ruptured left biceps, suffered Jan. 24 during the Fort Worth (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo.
4.Top timed-event hand Worrell dies at 76
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Carl “Sonny” Worrell, one of the top timed-event hands of his generation, died Jan. 28 at his home in Stonewall, Okla. He was 76.
Worrell was the PRCA steer roping champion in 1978 and qualified for 14 National Finals during his career – five times making it to the National Finals Rodeo as a tie-down roper and nine times to the National Finals Steer Roping.
He made it to both Finals in the same year in 1960, 1961 and 1963.
In the years after his retirement, he was honored with inductions into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City, Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days Hall of Fame, Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame in Dodge City and Ak-Sar-Ben Hall of Fame in Omaha.
His rodeo career began at the age of 11 when he finished third in the tie-down roping at a rodeo in Erie, Kan., riding a horse he raised.
When he was 15, Worrell won the tie-down roping in Mound City, Kan. He began his professional career while attending Oklahoma State University in 1955.
It was there that he met the daughter of legendary steer roper Everett Shaw, Mary Sue Shaw of Stonewall, Okla., and in 1957 the couple was married in Stillwater.
Worrell competed in tie-down roping and steer wrestling, and later in steer roping, and was the first Kansan to qualify for the National Finals, in 1960.
In 1970, a leg injury at the Houston Astrodome ended his competition in tie-down roping and steer wrestling, but he continued in steer roping for another decade.
Worrell won money 23 times in 28 appearances at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.
He is survived by his wife, Mary; their three children, Neil, Beverly and Kelly; and two grandchildren who are rodeo contestants, Cacee Sue Taulman and Colby Worrell. Services were held Jan. 31 at Stonewall First Baptist Church.
• Team roper M.J. Carmichael, who competed in the National Finals Rodeo five consecutive years (1962-66) – making it as both a header and heeler – died Jan. 19 in Yuma, Ariz., from complications with COPD and pneumonia. He was 68. Carmichael, who learned to rope from his dad, Mike, when he was growing up in southern California, made his first NFR appearance in 1962 with Frank Ferreira Sr. and would return in succeeding years with John Bill Rodriguez, Ronnie Gobel and Ernest Forsberg; he was the header the first four trips and heeled for Forsberg.
5. News and notes from the rodeo trail
A group developing a sustainability plan for the 107-year-old National Western Stock Show Rodeo complex in Denver is looking to turn the facility into a year-round institution that would be a “combination of school, museum or institute,” according to a report in the Denver Post. The name would change to the National Western Center in this concerted effort by 30 civic and business leaders to save the facility that requires about $110 million in deferred maintenance. The center would host significant equestrian events, trade shows and rodeo events during the year, in addition to the National Western. “We think this is a unique opportunity to capitalize on a major Denver asset,” saidRon Williams, co-chairman of the Western Stock Show Association … ProRodeoLive will provide coverage of the final rounds of the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo Feb. 19-23, including semifinal rounds, the championship round, and the PRCA Xtreme Bulls Tour event on the final day of the rodeo. Announcer Steve Kenyon will begin the live webcast (www.prorodeolive.com) at 6:45 p.m. (CT) Feb. 19-21 and at 7:15 on Feb. 22. There will be two broadcasts on Feb. 23, with the X Bulls airing at 12:45 p.m. and the final round of the rodeo at 7:15 … The field for the March 1-3 Timed Event Championship of the World in Guthrie, Okla., will include reigning World Champions Trevor Brazile, Chad Masters and Jade Corkill in a 20-man field. Each man will be competing in all five time-event categories to determine the best all-around hand. ProRodeoLive will also air a webcast from Guthrie … PRCA timer Amy Sutton and her husband Steven Muller of Agar, S.D., had a baby boy, Shaden James, on Jan. 17. He was 9.1 pounds and 21.4 inches long … George Flett, one of the most prolific Indian artists in the Pacific Northwest and the father of former PRCA cowboy George Flett Jr., died Jan. 30 in Wellpinit, Wash. He was 66 … There will be a record 20 PRCA Championship Rodeo Camps offered this year across the United States, offering free instruction to aspiring bareback, saddle bronc and bull riders. Next one up is in Perry, Ga., on Feb. 23 and then there will be three more next month – March 9 in Lewiston, Idaho; March 16 in Cortez, Colo., and March 22 in Lexington, Neb. Instruction focuses on safety, chute procedure, equipment set-up, fitness, nutrition, injury prevention, PRCA business and goal setting. Go to the PRCA website for further information and online registration (www.prorodeo.com/youthrodeo) … The Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo in Waco, home of the All American ProRodeo Finals, won 27 awards for its work to advertise and market the event held each October. The Texas Association of Fairs & Events (TAFE) and the Texas Festival and Events Association (TFEA) also awarded the Waco group with the Lone Star Award for outstanding work in marketing, programming and communications … The Days of ’76 Rodeo Arena in Deadwood, S.D., took on a much different look on Jan. 30 when crews worked all day to turn it into a snowmobile race course for the Feb. 1-2 Deadwood Snocross Shoot Out. Several of the competitors came directly from the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo., to take part, following in the snowshoe-sized footprints of such rodeo greats asCasey Tibbs and Billy Etbauer.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“We get to travel and do things that a lot of people have to wait until they’re retired to do. We get to live it every day, day in and day out. It’s that free spirit that the cowboy and the United States was formed on.”
– Wrangler NFR bull rider Ardie Maier explaining to his home-state Rapid City (S.D.) Journal what he loves about his chosen profession.
