World Champions of the Cowboy Variety Dominate Night Two of Hondo Rodeo Fest

Beginning to end, top to bottom, the Hondo Rodeo Fest has impressed.
Hillary Maybery for Rodeo On SI

From beginning to end, the second round of the Hondo Rodeo Fest was electric. The crowd grew by leaps and bounds from Thursday to Friday night.

High scores and fast times filled the scoreboard in every event. World Champions were abundant and the purse was certainly worth the athletes spending their evening in Phoenix, Ariz. at Chase Field - home to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The athletes will meet one more time Saturday evening to determine the round three and average champions. The average will pay two places - $20,000 for first and $12,500 for second. The winner of the most money of all the competitors will also earn the title of The Maverick and for their effort will deposit and additional $50,000 bonus.
