The Pine Bluffs Roping Club must have made some kind of agreement with Mother Nature, as last Friday was another perfect night for roping. The temperature was not hot, no wind or rain and the arena was a bit dusty but great for roping. It was Burns homecoming and maybe some of the normal contestants might have been a bit pre-occupied. Still there were 15 ropers that showed up to test their skills. They were divided into 45 teams. As the teams each chased after the bovine target it was evident...

However, being that they were undefeated in their first six games and were looking to go back to the state championship game, the end of the season was anything but satisfying. Head Coach Will Gray mentioned how disappointed he was with the end of the season and says that they will be going back to basics in the off-season.
