  Koontz, Hanson capture Fort Worth title Posted: February 17, 2013 - 11:12pm	When the title was at stake at the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo, Kory Koontz of Sudan and his partner Brock Hanson knew they were in for a big challenge.
  But they also realized they had some wiggle room. They entered the finals with a commanding lead with a two-run time of 9.6, 1.1 seconds ahead of their nearest competitor. Though they turned in a so-so time of 6.5 during the final round, Koontz and Hanson clinched the title with a three-run time of 16.1, to defeat second-place finishers Brooks Dahozy of Window Rock, Ariz., and Jayton McCright of Canyon.
  After winning the team roping title in Fort Worth, Koontz and Hanson, who lives in Casa Grande, Ariz., each earned $8,028. After all that, Koontz was ranked No. 1 in last week's Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association team roping/heeling world title race with regular season earnings of $16,788.
  ■ Vest roping tough: Stetson Vest of Childress finished fifth in the tie-down roping title race at the Fort Worth rodeo. He was ranked eighth in last week's tie-down roping world standings with regular season earnings of $9,549. He is the grandson of early 1960s National Finals qualifier Clifton Smith of Childress and a nephew of 2008 world champion Stran Smith. ■ PBR update: The Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series tour is scheduled to stop at Arlington's Cowboys Stadium on March 2.
