WH bullrider 'seals' high school championship

William Seal of Whitehouse finished up the 2007 high school finals winning Bull Rider of the Year in the Four States High School Rodeo Association.

Seal continues his professional rodeo career with a sixth place ride in the Lindale Rodeo on May 19. Seal scored a 75 in the United Professional Rodeo Association bull riding competition and brought home a paycheck, the first of his young pro days.

"Out of the 54 riders, they paid eight places and William now has some money to show for his ride," said his father, Ben Seal.

Seal's high school and pro riding events will keep him busy throughout the summer. His next UPRA sanctioned event is set for June 7 in Winnsboro.

In July he will travel to Kingsville where he will represent Whitehouse High School in the Texas FFA convention rodeo.

Seal would like to thank his sponsors: Whitehouse Floors and More, 7 C Ranch of Whitehouse and Cheri Rome of Designs by Cheri.
