Donald Hill-Eley has always told his Morgan State football players that life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you respond. Now, after enduring as strange a few months as any college coach could fathom, Hill-Eley is striving to live by his own lesson. In late November, following the Bears' third straight losing season, Hill-Eley accidentally received an e-mail outlining the university's plan to seek his replacement.

Vernon E. Seibert, a former athletic director and coach at Glenelg High School who had been an outstanding football player during the 1940s at College Park, died Saturday of cancer at Union Hospital in Elkton. The longtime Columbia resident was 88. "You could write a book about Vernon Seibert. What a character. The stories about him are legend," said Dennis P. Cole, who had been head football coach at Glenelg in the 1980s and retired five years ago. "He was always held in high-esteem but was not the kind of buddy-buddy type of football coach when it came to the kids," he said.
