By BARBARA GREEN

High school rodeo cowboy Colton Brown, senior at Prairie Valley High School, will hang his hat at South Plains College, Leveland, this fall.

Brown signed a letter of intent last week to ride for the college with a full rodeo scholarship. It was an exciting day for the 18-year-old, and his proud parents, Matt and Sherry Brown.

The South Plains Rodeo team is coached by Kerry Doster, who was unable to be at the signing; however, Colton’s father Matt spoke to the coach prior to the event.

“He said he was proud of Colton’s success and honored he will be part of the rodeo team. They look forward to him attending,” said the proud dad.
