J.B. Mauney and the Oklahoma Wildcatters Make PBR Teams Debut in Oklahoma City on July 12-14

This July that latest sports team to make their home in Oklahoma will make their debut on Sooner State soil, as the Oklahoma Wildcatters hold Wildcatters Days at Paycom Center on July 12-14. Not only will the event mark the Wildcatters first appearance at home, but also the Camping World Team Series stop will mark the season-launch event for the 2024 campaign.

The Oklahoma Wildcatters compete in PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams, and are one of two expansion teams that joined the groundbreaking bull-riding league ahead of the 2024 season. During the four-month PBR Teams season, each of the league’s 10 teams competes in fiveon- five, head-to-head bull riding games. In each game, the team with the top aggregate score is the winner, with each team’s overall win-losstie record seeding the league standings. All roads lead to Las Vegas for the Championship in late October, when one team will ride supreme, crowned the 2024 PBR Teams World Champions.

The Wildcatters are owned by Midwest City’s own Talor Gooch, professional LIV Golf champion, and are under the leadership of bull riding legend and Head Coach J.B. Mauney.

Through both the Expansion Draft, New Rider Draft and free agency, the Wildcatters have assembled a championship-caliber roster. The team includes two Oklahoman’s in Hayden Harris (Tahlequah) and Kase Hitt (Dickson). No stranger to the top ranks of bull riding, Hitt is the nephew of renowned Oklahoma stock contractor HD Page, who’s D&H Cattle is the outfit behind the likes of World Champion bulls SweetPro’s Long John and Sweet-Pro’s Bruiser.

Surging young guns Cort McFadden and Clay Guiton also headline the roster. McFadden joins the Wildcatters roster after a breakthrough rookie season on the Unleash The Beast, logging six Top 10 finishes en route to his first World Finals qualification, concluding the season No. 16 in the standings. At the World Finals, McFadden notably conquered Dana White’s Twisted Steel, the prized bovine athlete of UFC President Dana White, to win the $50,000 bounty.

Despite Guiton’s first season on the premier series being cut short due to injury in early March, he registered eight Top-15 finishes in 10 premier series outings, concluding the 2024 campaign No. 27.

Ahead of this historic event would you be interested in covering the newest team to make their home in Oklahoma? Oklahoma Wildcatters Head Coach Mauney and team riders are available remotely at any time and in person the days prior to their home stand, beginning Wednesday, July 10.
