Rodeo

The state finals for the Arizona High School Rodeo Association proved to be fruitful for some of the area cowboys and cowgirls.

Vinell Mariano was perhaps the best individual talent this year among bull riders in the New Mexico High School Rodeo Association.

At last year’s state finals for the New Mexico High School Rodeo Association, Rooster Yazzie ran into bad luck.

The qualifiers to represent Team New Mexico for the nationals will be decided this weekend at Red Rock Park.

Based on what he did last year, Cody Jesus was not expecting an invitation to the 22nd Annual Ty Murray Invitational.
