Bull Rider Laramie Mosley Outlasts The Field With An 89

SAN ANGELO, TX – The first performance of the San Angelo Rodeo kicked off with one bull rider, Laramie Mosley, scoring 89 points on Lancaster & Jones Pro Rodeo’s Final Rainbow. He was the only qualified bull ride of the evening. No others made it to 8 seconds. In this video, we interview Mosley right after his ride.

Meanwhile, in bareback riding, Cole Franks has spent his life around rodeo.

That happens when he’s the son of a ProRodeo cowboy, but there’s more to it. He is making his way in the game his own way as a bareback rider. Though he’s just beginning, he proved Friday night that he’s more than capable.

He spurred Northcott Macza Rodeo’s Hot Flash for 88 points to take the opening-night lead at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo on Friday at Foster Communications Coliseum. It was just the second time he’d ever posted a score that high and was the first time he’d done it at an event sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the premier body in the game.
