1. Maass’ gold-buckle bid takes on more luster in Casper
CASPER, Colo. – Justin Maass’ year hasn’t gone at all like he planned. And he’s fine with that.
The Giddings, Texas, tie-down roper thought he was going to be cutting back on his competitive schedule in 2012 and by this time would be opening a roadside restaurant with family and friends.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – When they started out, the Etbauer brothers – Robert, Billy and Dan – and their friend, Craig Latham, traveled together, sharing space in the truck and expenses to make sure everybody could afford to keep going down the road. They were the self-described “Band of Brothers.” Inseparable. Indomitable.

1. Proctor, Harris serve notice they are back on track
Bull riders around the country had better take notice – the champs are back.
Reigning World Champion Shane Proctor and three-time champ J.W. Harris both showed up big this weekend, and each now looks to be on track to do some serious damage.
Proctor, who hadn’t had a dominating ride since last December’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, tied the arena record at the Sisters (Ore.) Rodeo, with a 91-point ride on Corey & Lange Rodeo Company’s Quickstop.
The mark tied Marty Staneart’s 1993 ride, and it has the defending world champion looking for more.
“That’s a nice rodeo that I’ve gone to the last two years that I really like and I had a lot of family members there so it was exciting to ride that well,” said Proctor, who jumped from 47th to 31st in the world standings over the weekend.
