With Cowboy Days at an end, this weekend was packed with enormous upsets and overwhelming victories. Unfortunately, the Carolina Cowboys didn't get the victory they had hoped for on home dirt, but they have a week to prepare before heading to Arizona.

The Austin Gamblers were able to tackle yet another weekend of spotless wins going 3-0 in North Carolina, solidifying their first place position. 

The Gamblers took on Championship Sunday against the Oklahoma Freedom leaving them in the dust winning 178-0.

Rafael Dos Santos made the first 8-second ride of the night aboard Pneu-Dart's Chief Wahoo pulling a sheer 88 points. 

Gambler's Ezekiel Mitchell took a step in putting the team ahead by two rides. During his ride Mitchell became one of five riders to ever cover Preachers Kid bringing in a behemoth of a score of 90 points. The 90-point ride was Mitchell's fourth in his career, but also his first for the PBR Teams League. 

Arizona Ridge Riders put up a nail-biter of a fight against the Kansas City Outlaws to end their three-game losing streak by just 1.25 points. 

The Outlaws came out guns blazing at the start with young gun Koltin Hevalow. Hevalow endured Pearl Snap putting Kansas City on the board and making an impeccable 3-for-3 at PBR Cowboy Days with a score of 85.25. Ridge Riders' Eduardo Aparecido took on Dirty Sancho putting them behind the Outlaws by 82.50 points with a score of 88.75. 

Arizona's Nick Tetz took his re-ride on Sugar Smack for a massive score of 91.50 putting the Ridge Riders in the lead. 

Cassio Dias tried to put Kansas City ahead and took center to Oreo pulling a score of 90.25. Although it was not enough to push Outlaws ahead it did earn Dias the event MVP title.

Missouri Thunder took the win by just a hair against Texas Rattlers. With each team only having one qualified ride the Thunder was able to pull of the win by 2.50 points. 

Ending out Championship Sunday, Nashville Stampede and the Carolina Cowboys went neck-in-neck fighting for the final win. 

The Stampede's newcomer Chase Outlaw took on a rematch breaking out of the gates on Twisted Feather ending the 8-second qualified ride in celebration with a lead of 88.25 points. Outlaw's score marked 200 of his career in premier-level competition making him the 35 rider in PBR history to cross the threshold. 

The home team's seven-time PRCA champion, Sage Kimzey took on all the pressure trying to take a walk-off win. Kimzey settled on Buckeye Nation being the first to get a qualified ride of 89.75 points putting Carolina just under the Stampede by 2.25 points. 

The Las Vegas, Nevada Championship Finals are just a few weeks out. With only two weekends of games left, each team has to crack down on the flaws and work out the kinks to win the Finals.

Growing up in a small town, she learned and started her background in agriculture and knowledge of equine and barrel racing. Isabelle spent many years riding and training with her uncle, this allowed her to work with many young futurity prospects. Barrel racing brought her some of her closest friends and her to some of the best opportunities she has been presented in her life. She was a part of 4-H from the time she was in the 3rd grade till her graduating year of high school which allowed her to broaden her knowledge outside of equine.  After graduating high school in 2019 Isabelle moved to Murray, Kentucky where she continued her education at Murray State University. Although she wasn’t a participant on the rodeo team she traveled with the team to most of their events. She also continued to individually compete in barrel racing until 2022. At the start of 2022, she decided to take a break from school to travel and to find what her passion was. She found herself in north Texas. This led her to the opportunity to start and grow with Sports Illustrated Rodeo Daily. She plans to use this opportunity to spread her knowledge and love for the animals and the sport(s) they allow us to engage in.  Instagram: izzyb_brown01
