by Garrett Houin Making new friends, traveling and competing across Ohio, and even competing at the National High School Rodeo Finals—these are just a few of the opportunities available through the Ohio High School Rodeo Association. OHSRA kicked off its 202122 season in Urbana, and new friendships and memories were made in and out of the arena. Did you know OHSRA offers both light rifle and trap shooting competitions in addition to traditional rodeo events? Shooters were first up Saturday morning with Eli Dimmerling winning the high school division and Madi Corsi winning the junior

Temperatures soared in the afternoon, but that didn’t stop our members from turning in some scorching runs.

In the junior high division, weekend winners were Corsi in barrels, Brealyn Gardner in poles, Carlie Wears in girls’ goat tying, Cade and Paige Cummings in ribbon roping, Clay Wines in breakaway roping and chute dogging, and Cade Cummings in calf roping and boys’ goat tying. So what do you do after a long, hot, dusty day in the sun? At the end of the Saturday rodeo, the OHSRA Queen, Bella Leek, organized a kickball game in the arena for the members. The kickball game was a fun way to wind down from the rodeo earlier in the day and for everyone to grow closer together and get to know one another. There’s still plenty of time for new members to join us for the season. We’ll be wrapping up our fall season with the Buckeye Legacy Rodeo in October at
