The Northeast Texas Community College Rodeo team made the trek down to South Louisiana for the McNeese State University Rodeo in Lake Charles, Louisiana October 28th-29th.
Desirae Bullock (Shepherd, Texas) was 2.8 in the Ladies Breakaway roping to just finish outside the money and gaining points for the Ladies team.
For the Men’s team, Garrett Fields (Quitman, Texas) was 6.8 seconds in the Steerwrestling to bring home a 7thplace finish and points for the Eagles. Bull rider Nathan Gwin (Ashdown, Arkansas) tied for 3rd with a 73-point ride.
The Eagles have six NIRA Southern Region rodeos left in the 2022-2023 season in hopes of qualifying for the 2023 College National Finals Rodeo held in Casper, Wyoming in June. Each week the NTCC Rodeo team has improved and are in striking distance in several events of earning enough points to qualify.
The Eagles will look to add points in the final fall Rodeo of 2022 when they travel to Conroe, Texas November 10th-12th for the Sam Houston State University Rodeo.
