Meet the Member Reagan Shurden

July 21, 2022
By Lindsay Humphrey Of all the years Dilynn Schafer’s been rodeoing, 2022 is turning out to be one of her best so far.

April 25, 2022
story by Lindsay Humphrey Very few parents can say they’ve been present for every single trip down the alley, but that’s exactly the case for Brenna Strickland and her mom, Meagan. “If momma isn’t going, then I don’t want to go,” said the 11-year-old from Kentwood, Louisiana.
