Wrangler Express Rodeo Editor The Southwest Region Coach of the Year, Don Ed Eddleman, does not believe that being the Head Coach of the Cisco College Rodeo team is an occupation… ”It’s a purpose.”

He graduated from Graham High School in 1984 and attended Tarleton State University in 1986 where he was a member of the rodeo team for the next four years. Eddleman competed in Calf Roping and Steer Wrestling during his four years on the rodeo team. He qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo in 1987 in the Calf Roping and again in 1988 in the Calf would soon be his wife, Pamala. Don Ed and Pamala have one child, Will, who is now a Senior at Sul Ross State University.
