Charlotte , TN's Tye Allen Wins Circle 13's ABA Sunday Matinee
I can finally say it was muddy at an event this season.We had a good turnout at Denmark and I was able to interview some riders. Scott Littrell did the honor with the Cowboy's Prayer while former rider turned funnyman Mike Russell filled in as a judge along with Johnny Byrd.
The event began with a Junior riders exhibition.Dusty Russell who reminds me of a young Tuff Hedeman, drew Circle 13's black bull Star who sure didn't like the mud.Star didn't have much kick as he hop,skipped and jumped straight to the left and slipped at one point.Dusty scored a 65 to win the round as Dylan Clayton came down during the fourth jump aboard CWR's Ghastly Disaster who didn't mind the mud as he high kicked and bucked with change-ups. The bigger the bull the less they will do in the mud.Ghastly is a lot smaller than Star; and as a result the mud did not affect his performance.It sure was good to have the rain we had so no complaints here..
Altus Dieterlen was the first to come out of the chutes and the first to make a qualified ride.He scored 74 aboard Circle 13's White Knight who took four leaps out of the chute before turning back into a left circle then reversed right.Tye Allen was the next one out and he rode Circle 13's 14K Golddigger for 76 points. Tye had his work cut out as the bull bucked straight down the arena with lots of kick before reversing back towards the chutes.
D.L. Goodman drew CWR's Cat Five Hurricane who took two long leaps out with power and high kicks to send D.L. to a non therapeutic mud bath. I hated to see D.L. come down but I sure am proud of my bull.
Charlie Mullins has really come of age as a rider this season. He rode CWR's TN Two Hawks for 69 points when Two Hawks made a wide traveling circle to the left with high kicking.It was a choppy,muddy ride ,but Charlie got it done.Matthew McCarley took over the lead with 77 points aboard Circle 13's Jordan's Pet who kicked high as he bucked straight to the left with lots of direction changes.Buck Friskillo got a reride as Circle 13's White Demon fouled himself at the gate.The bull bucked straight left then reversed right to get Buck off.Buck hung up but is ok. Jessie Perez tied for the lead aboard #327 Airliner who took one leap out then faked left and right before taking one slow spin to the left and then stopped facing the chute at the buzzer.This bull has the time clock down and knew the eight seconds was over so ....Guess he's a Union bull!
We had a long intermission so riders could clean up and regroup. The roster was short for this event because of injuries happening on Friday and Saturday to scheduled riders.When the short go began it was Memphis pilot Charlie Mullins aboard Circle 13's Bar 32 Full House.The bull took one leap out then spun left to give Charlie an early mud bath.Charlie had been out of shape as he came out on the bull and you just can't stub your toe on Full House.He's going to get you off and then watch out as he will go after you which Charlie found out. Charlotte TN's Tye Allen drew Circle 13's 180 Beavis who took two leaps straight out then faked right and left as he hop,skipped and jumped down the arena with lots of kick to his action.Tye was scored a 77 and that gave him 153 points on two head and the lead in the event.Matthew McCarley of Jackson,TN was the first rider up in the short go aboard one of my favorite Circle 13 bulls, #54 Super Dave who did not have his normal trip.He bucked straight and alternated between kicks and no kicks as he faked right and left.Matthew scored 72 and had 149 for the event on two bulls.
Erik Glueck from MO. brought in Black Hooking and Jessie Perez should have received a reride as the big black bull just hop,skipped and jumped real slow in a wide circle to the left with no kick at all. Jessie scored 72 and had 149 on two head .Altus Dieterlen drew Glueck's Super 8 who stumbled and nearly fell over into the arena wall right in front of us.My "sister" and video camera operator Joy got a real mud bath from Super 8!Altus got a reride on the same bull who took three leaps straight out then circled left and slammed the gate at the buzzer.Altus scored 77 and had 151 on two head.He and Tye tied for the round lead.Tye Allen won the event with 153 points while Altus finished second with 151 points. Jessie Perez and Matthew McCarley tied for 3&4 with 149 while Charlie Mullins finished fifth in the event with his 69 points.
