Peek rides hot streak into Logandale event

Josh Peek has been hotter than any other cowboy in Southern Nevada in the last four months.

The 28-year-old steer wrestler and calf roper won $6,892 two weeks ago in a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event in Laughlin by finishing first in calf roping and winning the all-around title.
