Tonozzi Tops Cowboy Capital Pro Rodeo Barrels
Stephenville's Pro Rodeo had a phenomenal week of competition at their brand new facility.
Being one of the last rodeos of the season means it's also one of the last chances for the world standings to shift. Only the top 15 athletes in each of the rodeo events have the opportunity to go on to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
