Gruver Texas Cowboy Wrestles His Way To The NFR

When the 2012 ProRodeo season began, Bray Armes promised himself he was going to try to make it to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo this season.
Armes is a man of his word.
The plan comes to fruition during the sport’s grand championship, set for Dec. 6-15 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas. The Gruver, Texas, cowboy finished the regular season 15th in the steer wrestling world standings, just earning the qualification to the NFR – only the top 15 contestants in each event get to play for the biggest pay in ProRodeo.
