Boys Win Big at High School Rodeo
- January 15, 2010
Every weekend you see trucks and
trailers traveling up and down the
highway going to a Rodeo. This past
weekend was no different. On January
9th the Region V High School Rodeo
was held in Nacogdoches. Each year
in January the Rodeo is held in Memory
of Tommy Gresham, a former member
of Region V Rodeo. For the past ten
years, the Gresham family has donated
belt buckles and scholarship money
to the Rodeo for the top cowboys and
cowgirls in each event.
During this year’s Rodeo, the
Team Roping was won by two cowboys
from Joaquin, Cody Hamilton, senior
and Craig Alger, junior. They took
1st place with a time of 6.52 seconds
to win the Rodeo and take home a couple
of beautiful buckles, over $100 each
and points toward Region awards. These
guys have been working hard since
September to stay in the top 10 and
this win is a great boost. There are
over 150 kids that participate in
Region V High School Rodeo, some from
as far away as Beaumont. They participate
for eight months with hopes of winning
a little money and making the finals
in April.
This is Cody’s second year
to come away with title. He and his
partner in 2009 also won the Gresham
Team Roping buckle. Cody also participates
in Calf Roping, in which he place
6th this weekend and Steer Wrestling.
High School Rodeo is not something
you always hear a great deal about
in our area. It is not recognized
by UIL, so you do not see it listed
on any school athletic roaster. Even
though, here in Joaquin we are very
proud of these two young cowboys and
how they represent their community
and school with great pride.
CONGRATULATIONS to Cody and Craig
and GOOD LUCK on the rest of your
Rodeos.
