Three 19-year old Faulkner University athletes are facing murder charges Friday morning in the shooting death of a fourth athlete.

19-year old Ryan Brooks was shot and killed by a man who's home was being robbed by the 4 athletes Wednesday night. The homeowner shot and killed Brooks, police say that was a self-defense killing.

But the other 3 men involved in the robbery, 19-year olds Marshall Wall, Ronnie Williams and Tabias Russell were charged in death because according to Alabama law, they are suspects in the robbery along with Brooks.

Faulkner University is a small, private Christian school outside of Montgomery, Alabama. Wall was a part of the school's soccer team, Williams, Russell and Brooks all were part of the J.V football program.

Montgomery Police are still investigating the incident, no word on a court date or bond for the athletes.

OSG NAIA: Faulkner and Union Combine For 184 Points

((HT: LightAdrenaline))

The football seasons for Faulkner University and Union College were going nowhere in the last week of the regular season in the Mid South Conference. So, as is the case in a lot of games that don't have much meaning- regardless of sport- defense was optional...

How optional...???

75-75 at the end of regulation and a 95-89 final...
Here's the last play...


The 184 total points blows out the previous NAIA mark of 141- set a year ago in Union's game against Bethel. Saturday's game even set a new record for a record in regulation with 150.

It was the second-highest scoring game in college football history, surpassed only by Georgia Tech's 222-0 win over Cumberland in 1916.
