Other than Kayson Jensen placing second in barebacks and Drake Weber earning second in reining cow, the accolades of the final weekends of the Dixie 6 belong to the shooters.
In the high school trap shooting, Kagen Rhodes earned third and fifth while Ruger Payne took fourth and second. Light rifle shooting found Kagen Rhodes finishing in sixth, fifth, fourth and seventh. In the junior high light rifle shooting competition, Kashley Rhodes gained points for two ninth-place finishes and a fifth place while Will Ekker earned sixth, eighth and seventh. Ryter Ekker topped the charts all four days, taking first in each competition. Shalako Gunter received three fourth-place rankings and one sixth.
This concludes the rodeo season until early spring, which will resume in late March.
