Resistol Rookie Heelers:
Paden Bray; Granbury, Texas
With a little over a month left in ProRodeo’s regular season, Granbury, Texas’ Paden Bray added $13,367 to his season earnings, moving him into serious NFR contention after leap frogging from 23rd to 16th in the PRCA world standings with $59,786.34.
“It’s pretty surreal,” Bray said. “It happened pretty fast. It’s the closest I’ve ever been. After the Fourth, I went from not even in the top 50 to 24th in the World. We’ve had good weeks and we’ve had slow weeks, but we haven’t even got skunked yet. We’ve been right there—20th, 21st—I’ve never got over the hump. Then, last weekend, we finally had a good week doing good at Kennewick and at San Juan (Capistrano) and got over the hump. It’s a real stress reliever.”
Bray and 2017 World Champion Header Erich Rogers won the Horse Haven / Kennewick Round-Up after roping three head in 17.3-seconds, worth $4,360 a man. They won the first round with a 4.5-second run, worth $2,906 a man, then tied Jake Stanley and Bucky Campbell for fifth in the third round with a 6.9-second run, worth $273 a man.
“To be honest with you, it’s a great feeling,” Bray admitted, “but I don’t know how many Resistol Rookies have a header like I do. I’ll tell you what, it makes it a whole difference to the world. My header is awesome. He does a great job and gives me a chance almost every single time we go somewhere. I don’t know how many Resistol Rookies get to rope with a World Champion. I give all that credit to Erich.”
The team placed fifth at the Ranch Mission Viejo Rodeo in San Juan Capistrano, California, with a 5.1-second run, worth $5,377 a man, and placed ninth at the Gem State Stampede with a 6.0-second run, adding $451 to their season earnings.
“After Pendleton (Oregon), I’ll get to go to Albuquerque (New Mexico), Stephenville (Texas), Amarillo (Texas), Kansas City (Missouri) and Omaha (Nebraska). I’ll use my rodeo count right at 65,” Bray said.
Bray has taken off with the Resistol Rookie Heeling title with $59,786.34, and is currently 16th in the PRCA world standings.
Clancey Kreutzer; La Veta, Colorado
