"I have a good bunch of kids and enjoy working with them, and in fact, all the kids in the region are good to work with and I feel very humble that they chose me,” Lassiter said. Currently, both Bacone’s men’s and women’s teams are sitting in sixth place in the region, their highest ranking ever. In each of Lassiter’s five previous seasons he has sent at least one team member to the College National Finals, one of which was a national champion in calf roping.

Jake Morgan is sixth in men’s all-around, Clyde Coulter fifth and Jake Morgan seventh in steer wrestling, Phillip McCoy, eighth in team roping (header).
