"We just can't make a freaking shot," a still-frustrated Wells said Tuesday as the Terps (13-3, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference)

"Journey's End," R.C. Sherriff's often-revived play from 1928, is set in the trenches of World War I. Focusing on a British infantry unit, where class distinctions are neatly maintained and personal battles can be intense inside the dugout, this incisive work largely avoids cliché and contrivance, even when dealing with the inevitable deaths. Fells Point Corner Theatre's staging of "Journey's End" reflects well on the company (and reaffirms the value of community theater)

The first was in early January. Then just as now, she didn't really think of it as a goodbye. "I wouldn't let myself go there," says Yow, Maryland's athletic director.
