Havre standout qualifies for National High School Rodeo Finals

At last weekend’s Montana High School Rodeo Finals in Kalispell, a standout from Havre shined once again.

Cassie Gibson was second in goat-tying at the Montana High School Finals, finishing her rodeo with an overall score of 185. Gibson will join her fellow Montanans as a representative in the National High School Finals Rodeo, which will be held July 14-20 in Rock Springs, Wyoming.

Gibson is no stranger to rodeo, as her family has been a staple on the high school rodeo circuit for sometime.
