Pistol Robinson Wins The Tuff Hedeman Louisiana Shootout At Bossier City
by Sheila Totten
Pistol Robinson continued his winning ways as he had a "Grand Slam" at Bossier City. He won the long go,short go and the event as he put together two great rides to edge out Jody Newberry.Pistol is on a roll right now.This is his third event win of the season and his second in a row.Could Longview be a third in a row? Come out there and see.
In the long go Pistol rode the Bruce/Martinez bull 45 Turbo Charger for 90 points during the second section of the long go.The suspense was carried right to the very end of the event as Pistol,having the lead entering the short go was the last to ride.He had to score at least 88 to take the lead over Jody Newberry who had 177 points on two head. Once again it was a Bruce/Martinez bull,Apache Warrior who brought the victory home for Pistol.Pistol scored 92 and the crowd went wild.
Jody Newberry,one of the original CBR riders came in second with 177 points .He rode the Bruce /Martinez bull 427 Black Mamba for 88 in the long go and Scott Burruss' White Chocolate for 89 in the short go.Its good to see Jody doing so well.
In the first section of the long go there were three qualified rides.Bonner Bolton scored 87 aboard Harlan Robertson's King Arthur while Kolt Miller scored 86 aboard Robertson's Pecos.BJ Schumacher scored 84.5 aboard Robertson's Mr.G.
The second section started with Jody Newberry's great ride for 88 points aboard Bruce/Martinez's Black Mamba only to be eclipsed by Pistol Robinson's great 90 point ride aboard Turbo Charger.He was followed by Danny McDowell's 83.5 ride aboard Alan Murphy's Ghost Road with Seth Reynold's making the last qualified ride of the section aboard Murphy's Rocky for 85.5.
In the third section between Alan Murphy's,Robbie Herrington's and Lufkin Ranch and Rodeo's bulls it looked like it was going to the bulls over the cowboys until Kenny Westrope rode Lufkin Ranch and Rodeo's Quickstart for 83 points.He was followed by Mike Moore who scored 86 on LRR's Moonshine and by Cody White who rode Alan Murphy's Cherokee Fiddler for 87.
Round four began with Vernon Guidry's bulls blanking their riders. Jake Littlefield rode Mutt Neuman'sBlues Man for 81 while Travis Sellers rode Neuman's Mutt for 85.Hmm and I thought our teenage stock contractor friend Marv Littrell of Circle 13 was the only one who named a bull after himself(49% Marvelous Marv).Jay Morrow rode Henry Wilson's red rooster for 87 and Danell Tipton finished the round with 82 on Wilson's Groopy.
The final section of the long go had Howdy Cloud scoring 88.5 aboard Scott Burruss' Brass Apache followed by J.W.Harris aboard Scott Burruss' Windmill for 85.5. Cody Whitney rode Burruss' One Horn Willie for 84 to end the qualified rides in the long go.
Several of my favorite bulls were in the short go and they blanked their riders.Vernon Guidry's Snuff's Hot Damn,Alan Murphy's Smokin Joe and Lufkin Ranch and Rodeo's Zorro all had their way with the riders.Cody Whitney was the first to score in the round with 88.5 aboard Scott Burruss' Evil Eye giving him 172.5 on two head.He was fourth in the event and third in the short go.B.J.Schumacher scored 75 aboard Harlan Robertson's Graceland to finsih fifth in the short go and fifth in the event with 159.5. Bonner Bolton scored 86 aboard another of my favorite bulls,Vernon Guidry's Dippin XS Energy to finsih fourth in the round and third in the event with 173 on two head. The only other two qualified rides were Newberry and Robinson and we already know where they finished. Pistol Robinson has lengthened his lead in the Crown Royal World Standings while B J Schumacher jumped into second place .
There were several injuries to report.Kolt Miller was ko'd in the chute while trying to mount Harlan Robertson's Solitaire.Kolt was thrown into the metal frame of the slide gate , taking a bad hit on his head.He was taken to the hospital where all tests thankfully came backnormal but he did sustain a concussion and was held overnight.
CBR bullfighter Sid McKissick had a bad wreck when a bull slammed him into an arena wall.He was also taken to the hospital and had a trauma team work on him all night.He had 5 broken ribs,a pneumothorax and a bruised lung. Sid stayed in the ICU overnight and was moved to a regular room on Sunday where he will remain under observation for his lung status.
I hope to have a full report for everyone next week as I will be at the CBR's Longview ,TX event.If you canpossibly ge tthere,this is going to be a great event and a really fun time for families.Hope to see you there.
