Andy Smith takes home Jerry Nolte Memorial Belt Buckle

Andy Smith claimed the Jerry Nolte Memorial Buckle given to the champion of the Johnson County Ag and Mechanical Society Extreme Bullriding Tour, Tecumseh, NE, in front  of a capacity crowd.  Andy won the event by covering two bulls for 168 points giving him a paycheck of $922.19.  Five riders covered bulls in the long go earning them a trip to the short go and paychecks for the night.  The junior bull riders were not as luck as no one was able to cover their bulls and there were no qualifiers for the evening.

Selected as Bull of the Event was 992 B & W Painted Dessert.  Painted Dessert bucked off Will Roberts in the short go exhibiting the bucking ability that has made him a featured bull.

As an added attraction there was a freestyle bullfighting competition by the Midwest Bullfighters Association.  Trent Ocshner scored an 82 point fight for the victory and $400.00.  Between the bull riding and the bullfighting everyone was enjoying an action packed night that just got better with the specialty acts of barrelman, Allan Dessel, Hugo, OK.  Besides his outstanding acts Allan and announcer, Russ Warren, never left a moment of dull air in the arena.

Following the event the night was finished with a good ol' fashion cowboy dance.
