Rylen is off in Redmond playing in the district All Stars right this very minute! We have 3 age groups for All Stars: 9/10, 10/11, 11/12. Last year was the first year we let Rylen put in for it. You have to sign a letter of intent that you are willing to put in the time and $$. He was on the 10/11 team last year. This year, he is on the 11/12 team. This is his last year of LL. He is convinced that his time is going to the LL World Series. >>> -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

In reply to: Hap 's message, "I hope nobody decides to ban kids rodeo finals because it's hard on the kids that didn't make it." on 05:34:14 06/28/08 Sat

If they win district, then they go to State. This year it is in Pendleton, so it will be nice - just down the road. If they win state, then they go to regionals in CA somewhere. Then it's on to the World Series in PA. I'll be happy if they don't go beyond state. :-) Sounds like those kids in that article are getting the shaft. It's just an exhibition game and they won't get to advance, or even have the opportunity. Like one of the responders to the article said: IF YOU DON'T ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO EXPERIENCE FAILURE, YOU'RE SETTING THEM UP TO FAIL. Or something like that!

Good luck to him on that.... You need a vacation to Pennsyvania. Nice and hot and muggy that time of year....lol. (NT) -- Varmit, 08:09:52 06/30/08 Mon
- Thanks! I told Rylen that if they make it beyond State, they will have to hold some major fund raisers! It's going to be an expensive summer if they are that good! (NT) -- Crystal, 15:14:35 06/30/08 Mon
  - Thats what parents are for..... had a friend about 15 years ago his kid won the calf roping in Florida for the year in the Junior rodeo. His son was riding the saddle and somebody asked him about it. He said, "Yeah, that saddle only cost me $3500.00" (NT) -- Varmit, 15:38:20 06/30/08 Mon
    - Way to go Rylen!! As fo this other deal, looks like they might as well quit giving kids straight A's for their perfect school work. It might be too hard on the ones making D's or F's. Give them all a C average is the only way to be fair. For sure no honor roll. Same thing, I'd say. (NT) -- Hap, 07:41:15 07/01/08 Tue
  - Just got back to work from another game. Left home @ 4am this morning to make a 8am game. The won again - undefeated so far. Lucky for Rylen he's staying with one of the coaches there. (NT) -- Crystal, 13:03:50 07/01/08 Tue
    - They lost their game Wednesday by 1 run. But, they are still #1 in their pool. They play today in the semi-finals. (NT) -- Crystal, 07:39:26 07/03/08 Thu
      - Keep us posted (NT) -- Varmit, 17:19:12 07/03/08 Thu
They are District Champs, so it is ON TO STATE! The games in Pendleton will start the weekend of the 18th. Of course, I have a rodeo on the opposite side of the state that weekend...but hopefully they will stay in it long enough I can get to a game or two. (NT) -- Crystal, 07:20:30 07/07/08 Mon

  - Thats great... how does the state championship work? 2 loses before your out, or only 1 lose and your out? (NT) -- Varmit, 17:48:44 07/07/08 Mon
    - I know there will be 8 teams total. I assume it will be at least double elimination, but not sure. I'll see if I can find out how it works at practice tonite. All the kids & coaches got Mohawks. If they win State, one of the coaches has to shave off his beard that he's had for 20+ plus years. lol (NT) -- Crystal, 07:08:57 07/08/08 Tue
      - Good luck and thanks for putting it on here. (NT) -- Hap, 11:00:52 07/08/08 Tue
