Jess Pope Gets Big Bareback Riding Win in Home State
Kansas native Pope, the most decorated active rodeo athlete from the state, has won the title at his home state’s premier rodeo for the first time.
He entered the Finals in a three-way tie for third before exploding for 91 points on Championship Pro Rodeo’s Hooey Rocks to win by 3.5 points over Rocker Steiner.
“Hooey rocks never gets any easier, but always gives a chance to win,” he said.
It was Pope’s second 90+ Point Ride of the year and first since May 5.
Tie-Down Roper Riley Webb Continues Another Big Summer
All three of Webb’s times were between 8.4 and 8.6 on his way to an aggregate time of 25.5 seconds to win by more than 1.5 seconds over No. 2 Ty Harris. It was his third PRCA Playoff Series win since July 13.
Webb won almost $11,000 and is now No. 3 in the World, within $45,000 of Shad Mayfield.
Barrel Racer Paige Jones Gets Big Win For Some Bubble Breathing Room
Jones entered the weekend as the No. 15 barrel racer in the WPRA, but added $() thaks to an Average title along with wins in two of the rodeo’s three rounds.
“Dodge City is always a really fun rodeo and it is one of very few rodeos that my family gets to come to,” she said. “Bazinga was very consistent all three rounds and felt amazing in the short go, none of it is possible without him.
The other winners in Dodge City were Will Lummus in steer wrestling (12.0 on three), Coy Rahlmann/Ross Ashford in team roping (18.5 seconds on three), Brody Cress in saddle bronc riding (173.5 points on two), Bradi Good in breakaway roping (9.2 seconds on three), and Jate Frost and Bubba Greig in bull riding (90 points on one).
