Bobby Mote is one tough son of a gun. Just a couple months ago, he underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia, which he suffered last summer and played with through his fourth world championship. See the story HERE. Mote has returned to the arena, but he admitted Sunday that he may have done so a tad bit too early. It looks as though he’s re-aggravated the injury. And just like he did over the 10 days in Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, the Oregon cowboys summoned up the strength, courage and fortitude he needed to win his first Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo title. So will he take time off now? Nope. In fact, he plans to compete in both bareback riding and team roping at all the upcoming rodeos that are part of the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour. Of course, he’s tougher than most.

Bobby Mote and Classic Pro Rodeo’s Big Tex have a lot in common. Both are tremendous athletes. Mote is one of the elite bareback riders in rodeo who owns four Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world championships. Big Tex is one of the elite bareback riding horses that has been scored in some of the highest marked rides in the sport. Oh, and they’re both the reigning world champions in their categories, Mote holding the 2010 gold buckle and Big Tex wearing the 2010 halter. On Sunday afternoon, the two matched moves for 90 points to split the final round victory at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo at Jim Norick Arena – Kaycee Feild matched moves with Carr Pro Rodeo’s Deuces Night for 90 points, but Mote earned the victory because of his semifinal round-winning 85-point ride on Carr’s Big Lights. “He’s an awesome horse, a big horse that fits my style,” said Mote, a nine-time DNCFR qualifier who won his first national championship in the event’s inaugural run in Oklahoma City. “There’s nothing better than when you come down to the final four rounds, and you know you’ve got to go after it because of what’s going on. “I crave getting in that position.” He must. After Feild posted his score to take the lead in the championship round, Mote and Big Tex danced across the arena to match the score – Mote knew he had to be 90 or better to claim the elusive championship. Still, Feild, the son of six-time world champion Lewis Feild, walked away from Jim Norick Arena with $17,961 in earnings over four days; Mote was second best among bareback riders with $13,354. Jesse Wright of Milford, Utah, earned the biggest check of the weekend, all while winning saddle bronc riding. Wright, the reigning DNCFR champion, cashed in for $19,195. His biggest check came in the final round, when he rode the 2010 saddle bronc of the year, Vold Rodeo’s Painted Valley, for 83 points, just a point better than 2007 world champion Taos Muncy of Corona, N.M. “I wanted a work truck, so now I can get me one,” Wright said, referring to the $20,000 voucher event champions earned with their winning weekend. “I hope I can keep the momentum going. Hopefully I can make the finals again this year. That’s the plan, anyway.” Tie-down roper Tyson Durfey has four qualifications to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and owns two Canadian Finals Rodeo titles. He wanted to add the DNCFR title to his trophy case. “This event has always been important to me,” said Durfey of Colbert, Wash. “Growing up in Missouri, Billy Huber was a legend in that area. Even my brother and my dad went to the circuit finals, so growing up, everybody that I looked up to was going to the circuit finals.” Other event winners were steer wrestler Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore., 3.6 seconds; team ropers Ross Lowry, Summerville, Ga./Stephen Britnell, Maryville, Tenn., 10.5 seconds; barrel racer Tana Renick, Kingston, Okla., 15.30 seconds; and bull rider Allen Helmuth, Ellensburg, Wash., whose 71 points on Rafter G Rodeo’s Big D in the semifinal round held up for the national title after all the bull riders failed to make a qualified ride in the finals.   Bareback Riding Finals 1.         (tie) Kaycee Feild, Payson, Utah, 90 points on Carr Pro Rodeo’s Deuces Night, $4,799 Bobby Mote, Culver, Ore., 90 points on Classic Pro Rodeo’s Big Tex, $4,799 3.         Brian Bain, Culver, Ore., 88, $2,742 4.         Bo Casper, Fort Scott, Kan., 83, $1,371 5.         Clint Cannon, Waller, Texas, 82 Semifinals 1.         Bobby Mote, Culver, Ore., 85 points on Carr Pro Rodeo’s Big Lights, $5,484 2.         Kaycee Feild, Payson, Utah, 83, $4,113 3.         (tie) Bo Casper, Fort Scott, Kan., 81, $1,371 Brian Bain, Culver, Ore., 81, $1,371 Clint Cannon, Waller, Texas, 81, $1,371 Total event earnings 1.         Kaycee Feild, Payson, Utah, $17,961 2.         Bobby Mote, Culver, Ore., $13,354 3.         Kelly Timberman, Mills, Wyo., $8,501 4.         Clint Cannon, Waller, Texas, $8,364 5.         Brian Bain, Culver, Ore., $7,404 6.         Bo Casper, Fort Scott, Kan., $4,525 7.         Dave Worsfold, Queensland, AU, $4,250 8.         (tie) Sam Nordick, Mohall, N.D., $1,440 Yance Day, Fort Scott, Kan., $1,440 10.       (tie) Wes Stevenson, Lubbock, Texas, $329 Wyatt Hancock, Taylor, Ariz., $329 Tanner Aus, Granite Falls, Minn., $329 Justin Miller, Billings, Mont., $329   Steer Wrestling Finals 1.         Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore., 3.6 seconds, $5,484 2.         Casey McMillen, Redmond, Ore., 4.4, $4,113 3.         Ty Erickson, Helena, Mont., 13.4, $2,742 4.         Wade Sumpter, Fowler, Colo., 14.5, $1,371 Semifinals 1.         Wade Sumpter, Fowler, Colo., 3.9 seconds, $5,484 2.         Ty Erickson, Helena, Mont., 4.4, $4,113 3.         Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore., 4.8, $2,742 4.         Casey McMillen, Redmond, Ore., 5.3, $1,371 Total event earnings 1.         Ty Erickson, Helena, Mont., $14,054 2.         Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore., $11,997 3.         John Franzen, Riverton, Wyo., $11,517 4.         Wade Sumpter, Fowler, Colo., $10,489 5.         Casey McMillen, Redmond, Ore., $5,827 6.         Stockton Graves, Newkirk, Okla., $4,525 7.         (tie) Shane Henderson, Winfield, Kan., $2,605 Dean McIntyre, Wickenburg, Ariz., $2,605 9.         Todd Suhn, Hermosa, S.D., $2,468 10.       Seth Murphy, South Heart, N.D., $1,645 11.       Adam Strahan, Kankakee, Ill., $823   Tie-Down Roping Finals 1.         Tyson Durfey, Colbert, Wash., 7.2 seconds, $5,484 2.         J.D.

John Franzen wears denim shirts. It’s a family thing, he said, but it’s also a tribute. That’s a family thing, too. Franzen held it all tight to his chest Saturday night at the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, where he posted a 3.6-second run to win the second round of steer wrestling the championship. More importantly, his 7.7-second cumulative time on two runs was best in the field of 24 bulldoggers. In all, he has earned $11,517. “I knew I had a good steer, and I knew what I needed to do,” said Franzen, a third-generation rodeo cowboy whose family is also providing stock at the DNCFR. “I told myself I wasn’t going to lay off the barrier. I had to go after it.” That he did. After finishing third in the opening round with a 4.1, he knew he had some room to move. Besides, he’s living his dream in the world of rodeo, and he’s carrying on a legacy left behind by his cousin, A.J. Franzen, who died Dec. 18 in an automobile wreck. A.J. Franzen was 26 years old. “Me and him were going to travel together this year,” said John Franzen, son of Hank Franzen, owner of Powder River Rodeo Co. and co-owner of D&H Cattle Co. “He’s one of my heroes.” That denim shirt displays A.J.’s brand, a symbol John is proud to wear. But he’s just as proud to be part of the DNCFR competition for the first time in his career. “I’ve worked six of these events when it was at Pocatello (Idaho), and I’m flanking our bulls,” he said. “It’s pretty cool being able to be in the competition and work the rodeo, too. I’d sure like to do that at the National Finals Rodeo, too.” The most important part of Franzen’s victories were his qualification to the semifinals, which begin at 1 p.m. Sunday. The top eight contestants in each event advance to a clean-slate round. The top four from the semifinals advance to the finals, and the contestant with the best score or time will be crowned national champion. Other round winners were bareback rider Clint Cannon, Waller, Texas, 84 points on Kesler Championship’s Alley Trail, $4,525; tie-down roper Hunter Herrin, Apache, Okla., 8.1 seconds, $4,525; team ropers Casper May, Pryor Creek, Okla./Derrick Peterson, Stillwell, Kan., 4.8 seconds, $4,525; barrel racer Nancy Hunter, Neola, Utah, 15.31 seconds, $4,525; saddle bronc rider Jesse Wright, Milford, Utah, 85 points on Beutler & Son’s High Trails, $4,525; and bull rider Tater Hins, Huron, S.D., 84 points on Carr Pro Rodeo’s Black Gold, $4,525. Other average winners were bareback rider Kaycee Feild, Payson, Utah, 162 points on two head, $4,525; tie-down roper Ryan Jarrett, Summerville, Ga., 17.0 seconds on two head, $4,525; team ropers Charly Crawford, Prineville, Ore./Russell Cardoza, Terrebonne, Ore., 11.9 seconds on two head, $4,525; barrel racers Lisa Lockhart, Oelrichs, S.D., and Tana Renick, Kingston, Okla., 30.77 seconds on two runs, $3,976; saddle bronc rider Wright, 165 points on two head, $4,525; and bull rider Seth Glause, Rock Springs, Wyo., 88 points on one head, $4,525.

Bareback rider Clint Cannon prides himself on a great attitude and a commitment to winning. That’s why he was so flustered after his first-round ride on Friday night during the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo at Jim Norick Arena. A 75-point score just didn’t cut the mustard. “I feel like I didn’t ride up to par last night,” said Cannon of Waller, Texas, a two-time qualifier to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He was better than par Saturday afternoon during the third of five performances in the 25th anniversary of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association national circuit championship, matching moves with Kesler Championship Rodeo’s Alley Trail for 84 points. It gives Cannon the second-round lead heading into Saturday night’s performance, which will conclude the second round. “I think the key to success is getting consistent, which is what it takes for me, but I need to stay in shape for me to be competitive for a longer period of time,” said Cannon, who finished seventh in the 2010 world standings. “It’s important for me to stay consistent and have a good attitude, to know I’m going to win. “Last night, I came in with a new rigging. I was doubting myself, and it showed. Today I told myself I was going to win, and that showed.” Leading the round is big, but the most important ingredient in winning the DNCFR title is to succeed and advance in the tournament-style format. The top eight times or scores in the two-round aggregate advance to Sunday’s performance, set to begin at 1 p.m. Semifinalists will compete in a clean-slate round, with the top four times or scores advancing to the finals. “I get to compete in the Texas Circuit, which is tough, but it’s also a fun circuit,” said Cannon, who is No. 2 in the average race with 159 points, just a point behind leader Kelly Timberman of Mills, Wyo., the 2004 world champion. “We’ve got great rodeos, and at our circuit finals, we’ve got some of the best livestock. All the horses have been to the NFR.” Other round leaders are steer wrestler Trevor Knowles, Mount Vernon, Ore., 3.9 seconds; tie-down ropers Joseph Parsons, Marana, Ariz., and Jon Peek, Pueblo, Colo., 8.3 seconds; saddle bronc riders Heith DeMoss, Heflin, La., on Rafter G Rodeo’s Rawhide, Scott Miller, Hillsboro, Texas, on Korkow Rodeos’ Raylene, Sam Spreadborough, Snyder, Texas, on Andrews Rodeo’s Firelane, and Taos Muncy, Corona, N.M., on Western Rodeos’ Hippy, 79 points; team ropers Casper May, Pryor Creek, Okla./Derrick Peterson, Stillwell, Kan., 4.8 seconds; barrel racer Nancy Hunter, Neola, Utah, 15.31 seconds; and Jacob Tyner, Sacramento, Calif., 81 points on MoBetta Rodeo’s Corky.
