Ed Ashwell proved last week you can go home again.Ashwell, a three-sport star at Glenelg High School in the mid-1970s before going onto a successful seven-year stint as defensive coordinator for Wilde Lake's football team, has been named head football coach at Glenelg."

Like many race fans, Dale Ashwell Jr. wanted to get behind the wheel of a race car to see what it was like, but the expense of building one, regardless of the division, is prohibitive for most people.To take advantage of the large number of fans with similar interest as Ashwell, the enduro race for amateur drivers was originated by promoters of local oval tracks."It was something I always wanted to do," said Ashwell. "I always wanted to race, and this was the best way to do it."Enduros' popularity mushroomed through the '80s and are still contested regularly at area speedways.

Glenelg graduate Ed Ashwell, who coached a state title-winning wrestler as well as a state championship baseball team and a county title-winning football team at his alma mater between 1993 and 1996, died Thursday night of a heart attack at Carroll County General Hospital, his wife, Joanne, said last night. Ashwell, 48, is also survived by a daughter, Alexa, 19, and son, Ed Ashwell Jr., 22, who called him "a great friend and father." After a year at Long Reach as a football assistant and head wrestling coach, Ashwell took over at Einstein of Montgomery County in 1997.

The only person not surprised by the dramatic turnaround of coach Ed Ashwell's Glenelg football program is Ashwell.As the season swings into Week 8, Glenelg is enjoying its best season in a decade. The Gladiators (4-0, 6-1) are tied with Wilde Lake for first place in the county standings, having just beaten Hammond, 31-18. They are contemplating a county title and a playoff berth, two previously unthinkable goals. Their fans, loyal in the worst of times, are coming out in droves.Ashwell's response to all of this?

The dramatic turnaround in Glenelg's football program came about because of many factors.Senior halfback Paul Brosenne, with his outstanding strength and determined running, dragged the Gladiators to success. Other seniors, like Randy Garland, Jason Caulder and Jason Beall, transformed the defense from a patsy into one of the county's more resilient, opportunistic units.But the seeds of the Gladiators' rebirth -- from a 2-8 doormat last year to an 8-2 playoff team this year -- were sown by second-year coach Ed Ashwell.

The first week of Ed Ashwell's new life could be described as a culture shock that failed to catch him completely off guard.Coaches like to be prepared. And Ashwell, the first-year football coach at Glenelg High School, expected his new job to contrast with the previous 10 years he spent at Wilde Lake.As an assistant at Wilde Lake, Ashwell grew accustomed to the taste of success. He watched dozens of the county's more talented players pass through the program, producing league titles routinely.

Anne Arundel County Two-time defending 4A champ North County graduated one starter but added three and has the metro area's top battery in junior pitcher Beth Mullins and senior catcher Danielle Martinez, making the Knights the favorite in a talented field. Severna Park, 3A champ last spring, has most of its nucleus back with sophomore pitcher Kaila Jenkins trying to match last year's impressive postseason. Could this be the year Chesapeake breaks through in the 4A East region? The Cougars have their entire infield back, led by shortstop Tracey Dahlen and third baseman Brittany Owen.

Steve Weber and the rest of the players in the Crown High School All-Star Game got to live out their baseball fantasies at Camden Yards yesterday, playing at a major-league park. Weber, a catcher from Severna Park, and his South teammates lived them out the best, though, scoring a 7-6 victory over the North in the 21st edition of the event, which features top senior players from around the state. Weber, named the South's Most Valuable Player, tripled over the right fielder's head in the top of the sixth inning, driving in two runs and sparking a four-run inning that gave the South the lead for good.

Westminster lost a lot of talent to graduation, but in its opening-day baseball game against Liberty yesterday, discovered an outstanding newcomer, Eddie Ashwell. Ashwell, a junior right-hander who played at Calvert Hall last season, threw five strong innings of three-hit ball and drove in four runs with a 2-for-4 day at the plate. His efforts spearheaded a 9-3 Westminster victory at Liberty on a cold but sunny day better suited for football than baseball. "They are our rivals and we know a lot of their players from summer ball, so this is a big win," Ashwell said.

For Liberty, it was a matter of strategy. For Westminster's Eddie Ashwell, it was a matter of pride. After the host Lions chose to intentionally walk Sean Brewer to load the bases for the Owls' cleanup hitter in the fifth inning of a scoreless game yesterday, Ashwell delivered with a stinging three-run double to the gap in left-center, giving the No. 12 Owls the lead for good in a 5-3 Central Maryland Conference win. "It kind of made me want to step...
