Alcohol led to Presbyterian player's death
NCAA Football Betting Lines
02/06/2012 -
Clinton, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - An autopsy has determined the death of a
Presbyterian College football player on Sunday was brought on by alcohol
intoxication.
The Laurens County Coroner's office said Monday that the death of 21-year-old
Kyle L. Allen was accidental, the Associated Press reported. He died Sunday
morning after he stopped breathing due to acute alcohol intoxication.
Allen, a linebacker from St. Augustine, Fla., was declared dead at Laurens
County Hospital after being found unconscious earlier at a campus fraternity
house.
"The entire football program and Presbyterian College is grieving," head
football coach Harold Nichols said Sunday. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to
Lucy Allen, Kyle's mother, whom I spoke with on the phone this morning. It is
a trying time for all of us, but our main concern right now is supporting
Kyle's mother and his family through this difficult grieving process. Kyle was
an exemplarily athlete and hard worker, well-respected by his teammates and
coaching staff and he will be sorely missed."
Allen played in all 11 of Presbyterian's games as a redshirt sophomore last
season. He redshirted in 2010 after transferring from Georgia Southern.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
