LON AUSTIN/CENTRAL OREGONIAN
R.J. Kriege of Prineville rides Black Phantom for a score of 71 and first place in the bull riding at the Oregon High School Redeo Association rodeo at the Crook County Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday. 
By Lon Austin
The Oregon high school rodeo season is in full swing with rodeos in both Prineville and Redmond over the weekend.
   "The Prineville rodeo was kind of a blur because I was trying to work," said Rodeo Advisor Clint Corey. "But I think our kids really did well."
   Bill Simmons had a big couple of days, winning the steer wrestling in both Prineville and Redmond.
   "Simmons had a really good weekend of steer wrestling, winning both rodeos," Corey said. "So that was really good for him."
   On Saturday, in Prineville, Simmons had the steer summersault over the top of him and somehow held on finishing with a time of 13.61. In Redmond he improved his time to 9.85.
   Christian Radabaugh also placed in steer wrestling at both rodeos finishing second in Prineville and sixth in Redmond. Howie Mole had no time in Prineville but rebounded to finish third in Redmond.
   Other Prineville Cowboys to win events included R.J. Kriege who won the bull riding event at the Crook County Fairgrounds riding Black Phantom for a score of 71, and Tyler Beeman who won the bareback riding in Redmond with a score of 78.
   "Beeman did well," Corey said.
   On the girls' side Casey Loper was steady finishing in third place in goat tying at the Prineville rodeo and moving up to second place in Redmond.
   Bailey Corey had a slow rodeo in Prineville placing fifth in the girls cow cutting and not placing in any other events, however she more than made up for it in Redmond as she placed in three events.
   "My daughter Bailey didn't do anything in Prineville, but she had a really good rodeo in Redmond," Corey said.
   Corey won the team roping with her partner Kolton Wofford in a time of 10.13, placed third in pole bending and fourth in break away roping.
   Other placers at the Prineville rodeo were Lashae Brewer and her partner Jake Crossley who were fifth in team roping, while Loper and Hunter Hicks finished in sixth. Mole was fifth in boys' cow cutting, and Radabaugh was seventh in tie down roping. Morgan Dean also placed in Prineville, finishing 10th in goat tying.
   In Redmond a number of Crook County roping teams had good days. In addition to Corey and her partner, Abbie Simmons and Lacey McBeth placed fifth, Casey Usher and Bill Simmons were seventh and Danni Severence and Mole were ninth.
   The final Crook County placer at the Redmond rodeo was Brewer who finished in ninth place in goat tying.
   In other good news Corey noted that Logan Blasdale, who was seriously injured a few weeks ago, has rebounded much quicker than expected and is nearly 100 percent. Blasdale is expected to be cleared by a doctor to resume competition as early as next week when the Crook County rodeo team travel to rodeos in both Harney and Grant counties.
