With Playoff Rodeos in San Angelo and Red Bluff over the weekend and a payout of $1.75 million combined between the two, this weekend was a taste of those packed summer weekends that feature leaderboards full of NFR talent.

Wacey Schalla extended his lead in the PRCA Bull Riding World Standings by winning Red Bluff with a 91-point ride. Schalla made his fourth 90+ Point ride in the last five weeks, this time coming on Big Stone’s Cherry Bomb to win over $8,000 at the first Playoff Series Rodeo in California of the season. He has now won three of the last events he has entered. Since RodeoHouston, he is 11-of-16 with six rides of 88 points or more.

Rookie bareback rider Sage Allen got the biggest win of his career by sweeping San Angelo. The 21-year-old entered the weekend No. 16, but will undoubtedly break into NFR contention after he won almost over $15,000 at the Texas Swing’s final stop. He was 89 on Cosmic Stardust in Round 1 and 89.5 on Worth the Whiskey in the Finals. Allen beat out a Short Round field that included Waylon Bourgeois, Tilden Hooper, Cole Franks, Jess Pope, and Cole Reiner.

In bull riding, TJ Gray swept San Angelo as well. Allen wasn’t the only to claim both rounds as TJ Gray, who is No. 4 in the PRCA World Standings, did so too, and he did it with equal style. Gray was one of two bull riders to cover both and finished with a two-head total of 179 points to win by 9.5 over Ky Hamilton.

Tie-down roper Kincade Henry had a big weekend in San Angelo. Henry won $7,500 in the Cinch Chute Out and fared well in the rodeo, too, where he took third in the Average with 24.5 seconds on three, just six-tenths off of Shad Mayfield. In total, Henry made just over $19,000 on the weekend.

World No. 1 bareback rider Bradlee Miller made two 90+ Point Rides to win the San Angelo Cinch Chute Out. Miller earned every bit of the $7,500 first place prize by riding Fox Hole Gunner for 90 in the Long Round and Straight Stick for 92 in the Short Round. The latter being the highest marked ride of his career. Miller has now won five of the last seven events he has competed in and one of those he didn’t win was Houston, where he finished second.

Steer wrestler Jesse Brown was able to payoff his 2.9 in Round 1 of San Angelo to win the rodeo. Brown briefly held the mark for the fastest time ever in San Angelo before Tyler Waguespack broke it the next day with a 2.8. Brown may have lost the battle, but he did win the war, turning a 4.3-second run in the Finals to ultimately win the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo with 10.7 seconds on three head.

Dawson Hay rode for 90 in the Short Round to go from tied for sixth to first in San Angelo. Hay had some work to do heading into the Finals, but the World No. 2 delivered when it mattered most with 90 on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Rough Motion. It was his second Texas Swing win of the year and Hay continues to thrive despite a limited rodeo schedule. He has made almost $100,000 in the 2025 season on just 22 horses.

Shad Mayfield won his second Texas Swing rodeo of the year. Mayfield turned in two 7.7s and an 8.5 to win San Angelo by one-tenth of a second over Marty Yates. The next night, the second-ranked tie-down roper in the PRCA would finish second to Kincade Henry at the Cinch Chute Out. Mayfield has now won every Texas Swing rodeo in his career except Austin.
