South Florida fans — sporting cowboy hats, boots and their favorite pairs of jeans — returned to Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday night, hoping to see another win for the Florida Freedom on day two of Professional Bull Riding competition in Sunrise.
Standing in their way of another victorious night following the Freedom's day one win over the Missouri Thunder was the New York Mavericks. Despite occupying the last-place spot in the team standings, the Mavericks may have been the last team the No. 2 Freedom wanted to see based on Friday night's performance.
The then-winless Mavericks bested the then-No. 2 Texas Rattlers, and New York was clearly on the hunt to make history repeat — and to win its third straight meeting with the Freedom. However, while both teams were able to put up just one qualified ride, Florida ultimately grabbed its second win of the weekend 89.00-86.80.
Leandro Zampollo kicked things off for the Mavericks, but it was a quick ride for him. He bucked off Bruise Whacked in 3.75 seconds.
Then, it was time for the Freedom, coached by PBR Ring of Honor inductee Paulo Crimber, to start their night. In the leadoff position was Austin Richardson on Blazin Halos Late Night Toss, and he got his team out to an early lead, posting an 89.00. His ride proved a crucial one, as the Dallas native gave Florida its only points of the game and pushed his team past New York.
