Other South Dakotans in mix
LAS VEGAS - Rapid City's
Scott Montague tied for second in bareback on Sunday during the
fourth round of the National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas and Mack
Center.
The South Dakota cowboy
earned $11,370 after posting an 85-point ride. He is 13th overall
with a score of 320 on four head.
Bobby Mote of Culver, Ore.,
who leads the PRCA world standings with $168,577, won the bareback
with a score of 85-1/2. It was his first winning round of the NFR,
and he was victorious despite having his horse run into the wall
and change direction.
"It took a couple of points
away, I guess, but then he was good off the fence again," Mote
said. "I just tried to stay as aggressive as I could and,
fortunately, they rewarded me for it."
Kelly Timberman, the overall
event leader at the NFR with 339 points, tied for second with
Montague.
In barrel racing, Terra
Bynum of Colorado City, Texas, placed first in a time of 13.87
seconds. PRCA standings leader Brittany Pozzi-Pharr of Victoria,
Texas, was third in 14.09 and increased her money total to
$190,698, almost $50,000 more than second-place competitor Lindsay
Sears of Canada. Pozzi-Pharr also moved into the event lead with a
time of :56.33 on four runs.
The South Dakota barrel
racers lost some ground on Sunday. Jill Moody of Letcher was 14th
in the fourth round with a run of :19.25, while Oelrichs' Lisa
Lockhart, a NFR rookie, was 15th at :19.36.
Moody entered the round in
third, before dropping to 10th with an overall time of :61.53.
Lockhart, the event leader entering Sunday's competition, fell to
11th (:61.55).
Heith DeMoss won for the
first time in the NFR, taking the fourth round of the saddle bronc
with an 86.5-point ride on Big Jet.
DeMoss, from Crowville, La.,
celebrated his victory with a dance in the
arena.
"I just get a little
excited," said DeMoss, a 21-year-old NFR rookie. "I was just kind
of whirled. I didn't know what to do. It's unexplainable. For a kid
who has wanted this his whole life, I don't know what to say. It's
a dream come true."
Cody DeMoss, Heith's older
brother and the 2006 regular-season leader, dropped to second in
the PRCA world standings, with Cody Wright of Milford, Utah, moving
into the lead. Wright placed second in the round with an 84 to move
his season earnings to $142,937, while Cody DeMoss has
$134,349.
Camp Crook's Jesse Bail
placed in the money on Sunday, earning $2,644 after a ride of 81
(sixth place).
Oelrichs cowboy and
defending world champion Chad Ferley had his first successful ride
of this year's NFR. He placed seventh with an 80-1/2. Billy Etbauer
of Edmond, Okla., failed to post a score.
Belvidere's Jeff Willert,
who fractured his femur during Friday's second round and will miss
the rest of the competition, is still in eighth overall in the
saddle bronc with 164 points. Bail (152-1/2 points), Etbauer (84)
and Ferley (80) are in 13th through 15th,
respectively.
The steer wrestling event
saw Canada's Lee Graves, and Sean Mulligan of Coleman, Okla., tie
for first with times of 3.7 seconds.
Highmore's Jake Rinehart
ended a bad streak and posted his first time of the NFR - he
finished 10th in a time of :8.7. Rinehart is still in 15th
overall.
Trevor Brazile of Decatur,
Texas, and Patrick Smith of Midland, Texas, won the fourth round of
team roping with a time of :4.0.
Brazile increased his
first-place total in the PRCA all-around standings to $325,868. He
is the first person in NFR history to earn at least $300,000 in
consecutive years.
In bull riding, J.W. Harris
of May, Texas, won with an 85-point ride on High Waters. It was
Harris' second NFR win of the season and occurred during a round
when he and Cody Hancock of Taylor, Ariz., who had an 82 on
Stockland Livestock, were the lone two competitors out of 15 who
had successful rides.
In tie-down roping, Matt Shiozawa of Chubbuck, Idaho, won with a 7.7-second run.
