‘Sheep Thrills’ Friday Night at Mutton Busting in Nacogdoches, TX

It was another great night of mutton busting at the Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo. Five riders had rides of 78 points or better.

• 78 - Lathan Mora
• 79 - Addy Bickham
• 80 - Colt Hoya
• 81 - Kooper Selman
• 82 - Tony Piazza

When it was all said and done, 7-year-old Tony Piazza from Garrison, Texas took home the buckle and Justin Boots voucher with his 82-point ride. Kooper Selman from Lufkin and Coly Hoya from Nacogdoches each earned a season pass to Splash Kingdom for their 2nd and 3rd place finishes.

We're not done just yet. Saturday night will feature another 15 riders vying for the buckle. The competition gets underway at 7 at the Nacogdoches County Expo Center.
