Cashe Says: I don't know who all of the guys at the finals are ropin' with but Chad Masters and Jade Corkill are ropin' together and they're my pick for the average and world titles. Kelsey Parchman is teamin' up with Richard Durham, Trevor Brazile and Patrick Smith are ropin' there again and Luke Brown and Martin Lucero match up well against the other 14 teams headin' for Vegas. Eight time World Champ Rich Skelton's back but I'm not sure who he's pullin' pipes for. JoJo Lemond has returned with defending World Champion heeler Randon Adams, who has homecourt advantage, and watch out for the veterans, the toughs, Travis Tryan and Michael Jones. Nick Sartain and Kollin VonAhn are goin' to be a fun team to watch. Nick Sartain's one of the fastest header's goin' down the road. Speakin' of fast, Derick Begay and Ceasar De La Cruz made it. Riley and Brady Minor made the cut again and Charley Crawford is ropin' with NFR rookie Russell Cardoza. Russell's a bad man FYI and Steve Purcella is stickin' for Jhett Johnson. I'm not sure who Rich, Brad Culpepper, Blaine Linaweaver, Kevin Daniel, Clay Tryan, Cory Petska and Justin Davis are teamed up with but however they decide to match up its looki' to be an exciting Finals.

Pipes. PIPES? Back in my day we called them pipes “bones”. Anyway, thanks for the great email and I agree with you 100%. You took the words right out of my mouth and I feel you’ve nailed it down. Korkill seems the hungriest and Masters is absolutely that, “the master”. The two together are like Peyton Manning. They just make things go. Trev and Patrick have better than a long shot. Patrick’s won a championship before and Trevor’s claws are always out. On paper I see Trevor and Patrick having the best chance. They are a dynamic duo. Trevor has a one-track focus (championship). It doesn’t matter the event, and he won’t let up until it’s over. He rides the best horses, has the best tools, and focuses on it the most. Winning World Championships is his game. He’s won the steer roping, calf roping, all around, the only one that’s evaded him is the team roping. You know he’s aching for it. It’s like, “What’s in your wallet?” you know? Sartain and Van Ahn? I’ve never seen VanAhn. I’m assuming—you think they’ll be fun watch’n—they’ll have some fire in them. Sartain sounds cut out for the Thomas and Mack set-up but a guy has to remember there’s only one loop this year. When you come down the court, and you’ve got one shot, do you want to make that slam dunk? Or are you gunna pull up and fire at a high-risk 3 pointer? It’s a 10-header and the lion’s share is in the average, unless someone does like I did with Tee back in the day (1980) and wins 5 rounds in a row. Nevertheless, you say Sartain is fast, we’ll see if he’s also solid. Same for Begay and de la Cruz, they all must remember, the sword you live by can also take you out.
Russell? FYI (F—‘n Youth In-training) is a kid I remember from Escalon, lets hope he keeps his cool. Can’t wait to see how it plays out. As for the rest of them, its like that tough guy that lives at the end of Bad Street, they can just form a group. Obviously we’ll know better after the first perf. how things should pan out. Keep in touch bud. The Lion
