CALDWELL – Another rodeo, another title. Trevor Brazile from Decatur, Texas, captured the tie-down roping title Saturday at the Caldwell Night Rodeo.

Brazile, who is first in the Pro Rodeo all-around standings, finished Saturday with a time of 9.4 seconds, which combined with his previous times was good enough for a first-place finish of 25.6 seconds.

“Man, I got kind of surprised right off the bat,” Brazile said. “That calf, I knew he went left, but I didn’t know he can could go that hard.”

So far in 2009 Brazile has won 41 titles – 20 in all-around, 11 in tie-down roping, (including at the Snake River Stampede last month in Nampa), seven in team roping and three steer roping.

Still all those numbers don’t mean anything to Brazile. He just wants to keep a good thing going.

“Just because you win one two weeks ago, it doesn’t help with your confidence for next week. You have to just keep going or you’ll get passed,” he said.

Five other individual titles were handed out Saturday, as well as the team-roping champions. Here are the winners.
