Rodeo -- the No. 1 western-oriented entertainment in Nevada -- had one of its showcase events in McCullough Arena last weekend.

More than 200 boys and girls from Nevada junior high and high schools competed in two rodeos -- the Wrangler Juniors Friday and the Nevada High School Rodeo Association-sanctioned event Saturday and Sunday.

When all of the riding, doggin', tying, racing and bending was completed, Elko's Bailey Corkill was one of the dominant competitors in the rodeo, sponsored by the Pahrump Valley High School team.

The rodeo was contested in excellent weather, with more than 150 boys and girls competing before a good crowd Saturday and not disappointing turnouts Friday and Sunday.

Casey Barton and Dakota Eldridge, both of Elko, shared all-around cowboy honors.

Barton competed in team roping and boys cutting, while Eldridge was in steer wrestling, calf roping and boys cutting.
