Challenge of Champions brings bull riding to Hermiston
By JADE MCDOWELL
STAFF WRITER
It was hard to tell if the
cowboys were choosing the
bulls or vice versa Saturday
night, as the bovine com-
petitors won the night at
the Coastal Farm & Ranch
Challenge of Champions
Tour stop in Hermiston.
The event featured 35
professional bull riders, a
junior event and two demon-
strations of traditional Mex-
ican Charreada bull riding in
honor of Cinco de Mayo.
Jason Mattox, a former
PCRB and PCA bull rider
and the founder of the Chal-
lenge of Champions, said
Saturday’s event, held in
the new arena at the East-
ern Oregon Trade and Event
Center, drew from six dif-
ferent stock contractors,
who each sent a selection
of their best bulls. Unlike
most rodeos, cowboys got to
select the bull they wanted
to ride instead of choosing
via random draw.
Some cowboys may have
regretted their draw, as only
a handful of them managed

Champions tour at EOTEC on Saturday.
to stay on their animal for
the requisite eight seconds.
The first of the night to do
so was Jason Houston, who
hung on for an 85-point ride
on Lone Wolf of 2 Bucks
Rodeo Co.
Houston ended in sec-
ond place for the night,
behind Jordan Sammons,
who scored 87 points atop
Electric Avenue of 2 Bucks
Rodeo Co., and in front of
Zeb Lanham, who scored
80 points on Cowboy from
Crozier Bucking Bulls.
On the junior side, which
used smaller bulls, first place
went to Dakota Briggs with
72 points, followed by Lane
Vaughan with 71 points
and Cauy Jackson with 65
points.
“The Challenge of Cham-
PREP ROUNDUP
Hermiston drops pitchers’
duel heading into final week
pions Tour is always about
the youth,” announcer Al
Parsons told the audience
Saturday. “You’ve got to
build them while they’re
young.”
Briggs’s win was espe-
cially impressive, consider-
ing it was his first public ride
since the 16-year-old aspir-
ing bull rider from Days
Creek was hospitalized with
burns over 70 percent of his
body following an accident
last year.
“This guy’s a stud,” Par-
sons said, calling his come-
back “absolutely amazing”
after doctors weren’t even
sure he would live.
Mattox said he started
the tour in 2009 after retir-
ing and it has grown into
an 18-stop tour around the
Pacific Northwest. The
invitation-only event gives
cowboys a challenge in
the off-season and gives
up-and-coming junior bull
riders a chance to shine.
“It’s a very family-ori-
ented show,” Mattox said.
“It’s targeted to families. We
want them to all come out
together.”
HOOD RIVER — It
was a pitchers’ duel Fri-
day in Hood River, as
the Hermiston Bulldogs
and the Hood River Val-
ley Eagles went scoreless
throughout five innings of
play. Ultimately it was the
Eagles that came out on top
1-0 after a lone run in the
sixth topped the struggling
Bulldogs, who are play-
ing their last two games of
the regular season Tuesday
and Friday.
Hermiston’s
Lukas
Tolan and Hood Riv-
er’s Greyson Losee each
spent the entire game toe-
ing the rubber. Tolan sur-
rendered three hits and the
only run while striking out
three and walking three.
Losee recorded 10 strike-
outs while walking two
batters and only giving up
two hits.
Isaac Beamam scored
for the Eagles (13-10 over-
all, 7-3 Columbia River
Conference) and for the
Bulldogs (7-15, 3-7), only
Wyatt Noland and Landon
Jones recorded hits.
Results from Hermis-
ton’s trip to The Dalles on
Tuesday were not available
by press time, but the Bull-
dogs will return to the field
at Armand Larive Middle
School for Senior Night
on Friday. The first pitch
against Pendleton is slated
for 4:30 p.m.
Butte Challenge: Get ready, get set … go
Area runners and walk-
ers are challenged to help
support the Hermiston High
School cross country team.
In its 19th year, the Butte
Challenge (which doesn’t
involve running up the
Hermiston Butte) is Satur-
day at 8:30 a.m. at Butte
Park, 1245 N.W. Seventh
St. Bib pick-up and race day
registration begins at 7:30
a.m. The event features a
5K run, 5K walk and a 10K
run. Awards, which includes
medals for overall winners in
each event, will be presented
at 10 a.m. In addition, age
group winners will receive
a ribbon and one item from
the Runner’s Soul. Door
prize drawings will be held at
10:30 a.m.
The cost to pre-register is
$20 or a family rate of $75
(for up to eight people). Race
day registration is $25 per
person.
“It’s the biggest fundraiser
for the cross country team,”
said Jeanne Jewett, Hermis-
ton Herald/East Oregonian
multi-media consultant.
Jewett, who has been
involved with organizing the
event since its inception, took
the reins in 2005. It brings in
several thousand dollars each
year, she said.
Initially, the Butte Chal-
lenge donated proceeds to
various nonprofit organiza-
tions. Jewett said when Jake
Puzey returned to his alma
mater as the cross coun-
try coach, he inquired about
partnering for the event to
become a fundraiser for the
team.
With Puzey on board,
Jewett said he organized
an 11-1 road loss when
they traveled to Hood
River. As all four Colum-
bia River Conference
teams face each other one
last time to finish out the
regular season, the Eagles’
latest victory over the Bull-
dogs (13-9 overall, 4-6
CRC) gave them the sea-
son series. The Eagles (18-
4, 6-4) have now won four
straight while the Bull-
dogs’ losing skid moves to
two consecutive games.
The Bulldogs also hit
the road again Tuesday
(results of the matchup
against The Dalles were
not available at press time)
but will return to Rocky
Heights Elementary on
Friday for their final regu-
lar season home game.
HERMISTON HERALD
chip-timing and course mark-
ings. When Puzey left the
position, Troy Blackburn, a
Stanfield High School grad-
uate, was hired as the cross
country coach and has con-
tinued working on the Butte
Challenge.
“It’s a great family event,”
Jewett said. “Also, we have
fabulous drawing after-
wards. We have such gener-
ous participation from local
businesses.”
