Luke Mast Capitalizes in San Antonio Semifinals to Advance to Championship Saturday

Bull rider Luke Mast picks up his third round win in Frost Bank Center.

Luke Mast’s success in San Antonio came in Bracket 1 and he has waited through four other brackets for the Semifinals. He did not lose a step as he matched up with Hostile of Cervi Championship Rodeo to get the Semifinals 1 win with 83 points.

“I’m just glad to be here. It’s awesome... I know there’s a lot of great guys here and being able to compete with them and win is just awesome. I can’t describe it,” Mast said.

The second year veteran was one of only two qualified rides from Semifinals 1 bringing his total earnings in San Antonio to $12,500 not including the Xtreme Bulls.

Cooper James made the other qualified ride to advance while Jordan Hansen, Jake Gardner and Fulton Rutland advanced on money earned in their brackets.
