The 32-year-old bull rider from Weatherford, Okla., won both rounds en route to a $24,449 pay day and a shiny Hard Rock guitar as he claimed his first career Xtreme Bulls Tour victory. Navarre won the opening round with a 93-point ride on Four L & Diamond S Rodeo's Big Iron, and then was the only one of the 12 finalists to make the eight-second whistle in the short round. He scored 89 points on D&H Cattle's Marmaduke for a 182-point two-head total. ***** Billy Etbauer is phenomenal. He just turned 47 years old, and he's still riding great. The five time PRCA World Champion Saddle Bronc Riding celebrated he January birthday in February with a semi final round winning 90 point ride in San Antonio, and a rodeo winning 86 point ride at the Dixie National in Jackson, Mississippi. "I'm in the sport to make a living," Etbauer told the PRCA, "and I'm just lucky enough to do something I love. I ride to be competitive for a world title, but if I could control any of that, I'd already have (the sixth world title). I'm not going to worry about it. I'll just keep trying to ride well and see what happens." Etbauer, who is trying to qualify this year for his 22nd Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, started the week this week 11th in the PRCA's World Standings. The champions from Jackson, courtesy of the PRCA, included bareback rider Luke Creasy (85 points), steer wrestler Patton Norsworth (8.4 seconds on two head), team ropers Bart Brunson/Wesley Brunson and Mike Fletcher/Tommy Zuniga (11.9 seconds on two head), tie-down roper Tyson Durfey (16.4 seconds on two head), barrel racer Brittany Pozzi (15.83 seconds) and bull riders Dave Samsel and Jarrod Ford (90 points).
