Craig — The four-month lay-off is now over, and the Moffat County High School rodeo team competes in its first rodeo of the spring season, beginning Saturday in Cortez.
Cortez is the first stop for the Bulldog cowboys and cowgirls in the team's nine-rodeo schedule, leading up to the state finals June 11, in Lamar.
Coach Jill Hegwer said the team has had limited practice time because of the weather, but "everybody is lined up for what they need to do to get the season started.
"They all have their paperwork filled out, their grades and hospital stuff handed in," she said.
Not all of the team will be present, but according to Hegwer, that is the norm when it comes to rodeo.
"It's kind of normal just because it is so far way," she said. "It's one of our farthest one's. It's a long haul."
Senior Eric Fleming, sophomores Gabby Miller and Jesse Moser as well as freshman Bryanne Runnion won't be making the trip.
Sophomores Taylor Vernon and Matt Bohrer, junior Troy Vernon, senior Stevie Brumback and freshman Hanna Hegwer will represent the Bulldogs.
Hegwer said she hopes the team does well, but she knows it's not always easy coming off the long winter break.
"We've had a rough snow year," she said. "It's tough to even get your trailer dug out. It took Jesse's mom a full day to get her trailer out.
"You always hope for the best from them, but sometimes it's tough getting rolling again and into the swing of things."
