Starting off the night as No. 1 in the league, the Carolina Cowboys competed on home turf for the third annual Professional Bull Riding Camping World Team Series.
The crowd was fired up as audience members wore their boots, dawned their cowboy hats and rang their cowbells. The opening ceremony started with a bang as flashy pyrotechnics spelled out “PBR” in the dirt.

The team’s three-day stop in Greensboro — titled Cowboy Days — started Sept. 20 where the Cowboys beat the Kansas City Outlaws 349.75 to 260.5.

Justin McDonnel and his wife traveled over an hour to the Greensboro Coliseum for opening night. McDonnel said he was glad the Carolina PBR team has been doing so well in the playoffs.
“I think our football team sucks, so it’s good to see our PBR fans get a win,” McDonnel said.
However, the Cowboys weren’t the only team competing at the Greensboro Coliseum on Friday. Including the Outlaws and the Cowboys, eight of the 10 teams in the league were paired against one another.
The Texas Rattlers were the highest scoring team of the night with a total 427.5 points; all five of their riders qualified for points. This is the fifth time in the league all riders on a team have qualified — two of those times were the Cowboys.
