Brackets conclude at Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo

FORT WORTH, Texas, (Feb. 4, 2025) — The final bracket of the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) ProRodeo Tournament ended in Dickies Arena on Tuesday night.

And Bracket 7 offered contestants the final opportunity to advance and have an opportunity to win a championship at the legendary rodeo. Bull rider Tristan Mize from Bryan, Texas is one of those.

Mize tied for the win in round one of Bracket 7 on Monday. He came back on Tuesday night and again tied for the top spot, this time with an 88-point ride. That came aboard Rafter G Rodeo’s Sea of Sorrow.

He started riding bulls in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 2016. The next year, he finished 17^th just narrowly missing a qualification for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR). Then he took a break from competing. He came back last year and finished 38^th, giving him qualifications for the major rodeos including the one in Fort Worth. He is currently 13^th in the world standings and stands to improve that significantly. Mize is headed to Fort Worth’s Semi-Finals.

Also scoring 88 in Tuesday night’s bull riding was Caldwell, Idaho’s Brady Portenier. He rode a bull from New Jersey’s Cowtown Rodeo named Big Twist. Portenier earned the tournament championship the first year the rodeo was in Dickies Arena and that win propelled him to his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. His ride on Tuesday gives him a chance at the Wildcard on Wednesday where he will need to be among the top 2 bull riders to advance to the Semi-Finals.

World champion barrel racer Kassie Mowry has had some success here the past two years, but the Fort Worth championship has evaded her. Tuesday, she stopped the clock in 16.13 seconds, the second fastest run of the entire rodeo. Riding her great gelding Force The Goodbye that is known as Jarvis, Mowry is advancing to the Semi-Finals here along with Brock, Texas, resident Andrea Busby, who qualified for her first NFR last year and won the second-most prestigious title in rodeo, the NFR championship for having the fastest total time on ten rounds.

Dylan Hancock from San Angelo also made his first appearance at rodeo’s championships in the tie-down roping. Hancock stopped the clock in 7.4 seconds on Tuesday. Combined with a third-place finish in round one, he is now Semi-Finals bound.

Wednesday’s Wild Card round will feature eight competitors in each event. It is the last opportunity to advance to the Semi-Finals and only two of the eight will advance. The action, which is part of Cook Children’s Day at the FWSSR, gets underway at 7:30 p.m
