by Sheila Totten
The CBR headed to Huron,S.D. to kick off their Labor Day weekend with an event at the South Dakota State Fair in Huron.The two day Red Wilk Construction Bull Bash kicked off on Wednesday,August 30th and continued on Thursday,August 31st. For the second year in a row the CBR brought in great crowds and Fair Manager Susan Hayward was thrilled with the result.When the dust had settled and the event was in the books it was Menoken,ND's Jay Dunford who topped the field with 173 points on two head and a $10,000 paycheck courtesy of the National Presenting Sponsor, B&W Trailer Hitches ,official hitch of the CBR.
In Round One Dunford mounted the Robertson/Wilson bull Blue Chip and made a good, solid ride for 85 points in the first section. He drew the Berger /Ryken bull "Bond James Bond" in the short go(South Dakota Lottery Championship Round) and the crowd went wild cheering as Dunford scored 88 to win the round.The score of 173 remained in the lead during day two and held out for the win.
There were only eleven qualified rides in all on Wednesday which meant 4 riders got called back for the Championship Round. They were Casey Sterling, Cory Atwell, Pistol Robinson, and DJ Shields.Jay Dunford had the only qualified ride in the short go as great bulls like Mercury Rising,Vertical Limit,Copperhead Slinger, tossed riders off with ease.
McKennon Wimberley scored 82 in the first section aboard Robertson/Wilson's Cajun Moon while Justin Hermanson scored 83 aboard R/W's Vestle. Cooper Kanngiesser went into the lead with 89.5 aboard R/W's Rafter Jack but bucked off of Berger's Palace Station Deuces Wild in the short go.In section two Cole Hermanson beat his brother by half a point with 83.5 aboard Jessie Hill's Ghost Dance. Love some of the names the contractors are coming up with as they speak of western heritage. Brandon Wesson scored 82 aboard JH's Aces while Brian Frost scored 81 aboard JH's B&W.
In the third section Tater Hinson scored 79.5 aboard the Chad Berger/Larry Ryken/Winston Loe bull What About Me and Jarrod Craig scored 83 aboard Lacey and John Berger's Herbie. Clint Craig made a strong ride aboard Chad Berger/Clay Stravie's Bulldog Disco.
Charlie Faehnrick scored 83.5 aboard Berger /Ryken's Bowtech's Loverboy for the only qualified ride in the fourth section. Seems all the Berger bulls from all the various owners from Joe and Nevada to Chad and John and Lacey and their various partners are all excellent.
On Thursday the cowboys fared a little better as there were 15 qualified rides in the long go. There were a lot of new names among riders and bulls and they all made their presence known. Clint Cassell scored 85.5 on R/W's great bull Rafter Jack while Brian Curtis made a great ride aboard R/W's Vestle for 89.5. You can be sure of one thing when Harlan Robertson and Henry Wilson bring a load of bulls to an event-they are going to be exciting! The only other ride in the first section was Cody White aboard R/W's Montigo Bay with 82.5.
Lee Woosley scored 87 aboard Jessie Hill's Ghost Dance in a strong ride.That bull brings visions of smokey campfires,drums and a dance that caused a war.
Bonner Bolton scored 80.5 aboard Shane Gunderson's Jersey Joe while Kolt Miller thrilled the crowd with his 90 point ride aboard SG's Twister. Watch for good things with Kolt.He may give Matt Austin a run for the money next year. Kolt was followed by Tag Elliott with a strong 87 point ride aboard Chad Berger/Kenny Maxon's Lucky and Shawn Coleman scored 85.5 aboard E-H Cattle Company's Little Boy Blue.
In the third section Josh Carter rode EH's Uncle Marlon for 73.5 and Eric Bortnem scored 75 aboard Caddy Shack.Zack Elliott rode John and Lacey Berger's Stiffler for 83 and Trent Cormier rode Berger/Ryken's(YR) Bandito for 73. Sonny Munns scored 83.5 on YR's Red Hot.
Garrett Vig scored 84.5 aboard YR's Dixie Chicken and Dewey O' Day scored 85.5 on their Caddo Jake.
It was another hard paced Championship Round as only Shawn Coleman with 87.5 aboard R/W's White Diamond and Bonner Bolton aboard R/W's Tombstone for 88 were the only qualified rides.
Shawn Coleman from South Dakota placed second in the event with 173 earning a cool $6574 while third place went to Texas native Bonner Bolton with 168.5 in points and earnings of $3114. Texas held onto fourth place also with the talented Kolt Miller who scored 90 while earning $2076.. S.D.'s Brian Curtis finished fifth with 89 points and won $ 1038.
Clint Craig and Tag Elliott tied with 87 points for 6th place.
