SCS World Finals pays out $150K

 

March 8, 2010 � Ropers from around the nation left the Southern Championship Series World Finals on Feb. 26-28 loaded with $157,200 cash, along with tooled leather rope bags, halters and breastcollars.

Nearly 1,500 teams came to play at the three-day event at Dunn�s Arena in Litchfield Park, Ariz., which kicked off with a $2,000-added Open roping that drew a hefty 50 teams and paid winners Erich Rogers and Brady Minor $4,720 for their five-head total of 32.75 seconds.

Coleman Proctor had a great day, winning second in the Open with Caleb Twisselman and turning around to win the #15 with Adam Rose on a four-head time of 26.17. Proctor, who owns the fast-time record (4.4 seconds) at the Bob Feist Invitational, headed back to the rodeo trail with $3,310 total.

Miles Payne double-dipped Friday, too, winning first and second in the #13 with Brandon Mecham and Ricky Kee to pad his pockets with $2,400, while Martin Rucker and Dayton Stafford took top honors in the #12 preliminary with a 32.47 for $2,820.

The Pro-Am Shootout was all about Ty Romo, who heeled four in 32.41 for Tom Richards to win it, and also placed third with Bryce Palmer to pad his pockets with $4,985 on the day.

West Coast cowgirl Barbara Kenny was on fire all weekend. She jumped out and won the #11 preliminary with Dace Woods for $1,705 a man, placed third in the Over-40 roping with Richard Glassford for $825 each and then won the Amateur Shootout with Leo Woodbury for a cool $3,895 apiece. Her haul on Saturday was $6,425 cash, plus a tooled ropebag and breastcollar.

Bruce Northrop and Bill Dahlke won the #10 to split $4,200 and advance to the Shootout, where they placed third for another $4,110. The Over-40 roping was won by Leo Teague and Jerry Satterfield for $3,820. Jerry then placed third in the Shootout with Doyle Morrison for $4,560.

On Sunday, the ladies kicked things off with a win in the All-Girl by Tamara Thomas and Samantha Taylor, followed by #9 winners Macy Fuller and Aaron Semas, who earned $3,900 and advanced to the Novice Shootout, where they placed fifth for another $1,690, plus a fast-time prize of $320. Sean Doherty and Scott Jamison won the #8 Pick-and-Draw for $3,070, with Jamison nabbing another $1,580 with Barrett Littell for third.

The richest roping of the weekend turned out to be the Novice Shootout on Sunday, which paid out $24,400 � for fees of just $80 a man. Bob Rice had a Shootout but was short a partner, so the entry office matched him with JJ Butler, and the pair roped four steers in 33.11 seconds to split a whopping $8,670.
