It's the only time of year when fax machines become en vogue. The Winter National Signing Period opened Wednesday. Around the country, the top senior athletes announced their choice for school. Section V had no shortage of top scholar athletes making the jump to the next level.

February 6th marks the period where athletes in football, field hockey, soccer, track & field, cross country and men's water polo can sign their Letter of Intent.

At Rush-Henrietta, they held a ceremony for three of the football stars who are going on to play college football. Chauncey Scissum will attend Syracuse in Division I. Danny Drummond (Hillsdale) and Elliot Leubner (New Haven) are going to Division II.

Brighton's Devan Carter signed his LOI to play at Rutgers. He originally gave a verbal commitment to Syracuse, but after Doug Marrone left the Orange to coach the Buffalo Bills, Carter changed to Rutgers, a school he had long considered attending. Carter is the first kid from Brighton to receive a scholarship to play football at a BCS school.

Elsewhere, Eastridge's Alex Officer signed his declaration to play at Pittsburgh and McQuaid's Cullen Casey made official his commitment to Old Dominion.
