   Jennifer Allison signed a national letter of intent to play softball at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, head coach Alvy Early announced Nov. 18.

   Allison, a catcher from McKinney, Texas, earned All-District second team honors as a junior and senior, while earning her high school's Big Stick award after hitting .375 as a junior and .408 as a senior. Allison also was effective in the field, earning Golden Glove honors as a senior.

   She was the recipient of the Student Athlete 4.0 GPA award as a sophomore, junior and senior.

   "She is an aggressive, hard-working, 'down in the dirt' type player," Early said. "She's got good power and should be able to help us right away. The catcher position is one we knew we needed to fill and she takes care of an immediate need."
