A handful of local cowboys received praise and accolades earlier this month at Little Britches Rodeo Association Year End Banquet and Awards in Merritt.
Held at the beginning of November, Tanner Loring, Brandon Loring, Kagen Russell, Denten Russell, Reid Rife, Brady Wood, Will Roberts, Sam Holmes and Kacey Huffman — all Williams Lake Little Britches Rodeo Association competitors — picked up awards.
Kagen won the senior boys all around champion to claim his third saddle of the season, while Tanner Loring, meanwhile, secured the junior boys reserve all around champion.
