Rivalry series set for UCA, UALR
The University of Central Arkansas and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock have competed against each other in multiple sports for many years, but now the rivalry has a name.
The Governor's I-40 Showdown will feature the two schools competing against each other in 10 events in 2018-2019, with women's basketball added to the rivalry in 2019-2020.
In a news conference held at the state Capitol on Thursday afternoon, Gov. Asa Hutchinson welcomed the formation of the series. A Governor's Trophy will be presented at the final event between the two schools, which is scheduled to be the schools' baseball game at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock.
