While national signing day seems larger than life these days, with football and basketball players calling press conferences to announce their schools of choice, it's not always as depicted. Local athletes also sign letters of intent with little fanfare.
Middletown High School senior Rico McCray is one of those players. A four-year starter at tailback, McCray has chosen to play his college football at Bryant University, which made the switch from Division II to the Football Championship Subdivision three years ago.
Mike Casey, a Wakefield resident who played boys soccer at St. George's School, will head to the University of Rhode Island next season on a scholarship, and Middletown softball players Lauren Paiva and Grace Eng are bound for Providence College and Elon University in North Carolina, respectively.

your joking, right? The reason there was, "little fanfare" was because these guys weren't heavily recruited athletes. If they were there would have been plenty of fanfare.
I think you meant "you're."
I'm inclined to ask our anonymous friend where he played his college ball. Clearly it must have been a big-time program if he can belittle a local kid's Division I-AA (or Football Championship Subdivision) football scholarship.
I don't care if it's Florida, Bryant or somewhere in between, having your college tuition even partially paid for to play football means you must be pretty damn good.
And even if you did play top-level college ball, why would you tear down someone else?
