KNOXVILLE (WVLT) -- Jalen Steele and Robert Boyd led the Fulton Falcons to back-to-back state basketball championships in 2008 and 2009.

While they gun for a three-peat this season, they won't have to worry about where they'll play college ball.

Steele and Boyd each signed scholarship papers Wednesday to play basketball at Auburn and Lipscomb, respectively.

"It hit me this morning," Boyd said. "It feels to get this out of the way. "

Steele, who picked Auburn because they showed the most interest during his recruitment, agreed.

"It's very nice," Steele said. "No more pressure. Now I just have to worry about grades and school and trying to get to state again."

The Falcons tip off their season in early December.
