Kaleb Driggers/Junior Nogueira appear poised to advance to Saturday’s eight-man Championship Round at Rodeo Austin after an impressive 4.3 second run in the first Playoff Semifinal.
At Rodeo Austin, it does not matter where you finish in your own Semifinal, rather it is based off of the Top 8 across all three performances.
“We had a lot better steer tonight (than in the Long Round),” Driggers said. “Blessed to get it and make it work.”
Nogueira added that he was extra hungry to win Rodeo Austin this year because Driggers has done it before without him.
“This is one of the main rodeos of the winter,” Nogueira said. “It’d be awesome to win it.”
You can watch the final two Playoff Semifinals at the Championship Round of Rodeo Austin Thursday, Friday and Saturday only on The Cowboy Channel and The Cowboy Channel+.
