Three Marble Falls High School students roped a spot in the top 10-ranked teams and will be going to the state competition in June in team roping.
Tyler Horn, Ryan Becker and Tyler Ryan live within three miles of each other in the Fairland area, and spend roughly 15 hours a week practicing team roping along with Clayton Coon, a student from Liberty Hill. The four young men have achieved a high enough ranking in the Texas High School Rodeo Association in team roping this year, and will be competing at the state competition in Abilene from June 5-10.
“We practice year-round,” said Bryan. “Only the top 10 teams from each region get to go.”
Each year, the Texas High School Rodeo Association hosts a 12-rodeo series during the school year, particularly in the fall and spring season.
Bryan, a senior, ropes with partner Ryan Becker, junior, while senior Horn is partnered with Coon, who attends Liberty Hill High School.
