Newcomer Arkansas Tech will kick off the spring slate, hosting an event from March 6-8 in Searcy, Ark. The next two weekends will feature events in the Magnolia State, first at East Mississippi (March 13-15) and the following weekend at Pearl River (March 20-22).

Prior to the Ranger Rodeo, UT-Martin will play host to an event the weekend of April 17-19.
