ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – As the fifth day of the Texas High School Rodeo Finals at the Taylor Telecom Arena began, several future rodeo stars look to write their names in the history books in the Texas high school rodeo state finals here in Abilene. In fact, some of the biggest names in sports, from Patrick Mahomes to Shaquille O’Neal, got their start competing on the biggest stages in Texas as high school athletes.

In tie-down roping, six-man football star Hadley White from Westbrook came through Friday morning with a 9.3 second time and placed fifth best time in the round.
