— Broadneck's Reese Kiple spent last year coaching softball players who were intent on winning a title for their late former coach. This year, he told them they could win it for themselves. When Jim Ware died in the summer of 2008, Kiple stepped into the role and became a steadying force for his players struggling with the loss. The players went on to accomplish their mission of winning the Class 4A state championship.

It offers a distinctive taste of black pepper that's reminiscent of zinfandel, but in this wine, it works to a charm.

Of course, Onyewu, 27, whose parents emigrated from Nigeria before he was born and raised him in Silver Spring and Olney, doesn't really look at it that way.
