    Teens compete in backhoe rodeo  By Jessica Hanthorn, Hampton Roads Daily Press, VA
    At the competition, students at the vocational school race to complete with backhoes, the only equipment used at the event. But they aren't just trying for the fastest time, the biggest scoop of gravel or the most dextrous use of the controls.

    In many cases, they are competing for jobs.

    The contest judges are employers, mostly from local public works departments or construction firms. And some are looking to hire.
