TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Thursday was a big day for five high school seniors at Rickards High School, as all five inked college scholarships to continue their sport at the next level.

Two basketball players signed on Thursday, Cam Enzor and Maurice Howard. Enzor, who averaged nearly 12 points and closer to four rebounds a game for the Raiders, signed with Gulf Coast State College, a junior college that plays in the Panhandle Conference in Panama City. Howard, who is one of just four Rickards basketball players to have over 1,000 career points, signed with Alcorn State.

Collin Chambers was the lone baseball player represented, as he inked with Andrew College, a junior college in Cuthbert, Georgia. Two Raider football players also signed. Kalen Riles signed with Division I Prairie View A&M, while Chad Hunter, chose to stay close to home and attend Florida A&M.

"I'm very excited to have a chance to continue my education and my football at a college," said Hunter of getting the opportunity to suit up for the Rattlers. "I'm ready to change everything, I'm coming for everything!"

"For all of these guys to be fully qualified, ready to play college athletics at the school of their choice is just an awesome experience for all of us," said Athletic Director Earl Hankerson. "This is a great day for us."
