Former Tahlequah standouts to clash


A late-season college softball matchup will offer a reunion of sorts in Conway, Ark., on Saturday.
When Central Arkansas and Oklahoma play at 1 p.m., former Tahleuah standouts Erica Sampson and Ashley Boswell will get to square off against each other.
But more so than anything, it'll just be a time for the two to reminisce.
"We haven't really seen each other since Christmas break," said Boswell, who is hitting .314 for Central Arkansas this season. "It'll be different, but it'll be good competition."
At OU, Sampson is coming off a game where he blasted a three-run home run against Oklahoma State earlier this week.
Sampson certainly is looking forward to talking to Boswell.
"I can't wait to see her," Sampson said.
The Sooners are 39-7 and Central Arkansas is 35-18. And for Boswell and company, the matchup with a Big 12 Conference powerhouse will be a nice tune-up before the Southland Conference tournament.
"It'll be a good way to get some good competition in before the conference tournament," Boswell said.
