CMA JV Lacrosse Photos: Culver Academy vs. Carmel
On Saturday, the CMA JV Lacrosse team hosted Carmel High School for a lacrosse game played on Oliver Field. The weather was bad with the possibility of rain coming in; this kept me from shooting the entire game. Culver struggled and never quite seemed to get in synch.

CMA Varsity Baseball Photos: Culver Academy vs. North Miami
On Wednesday, the Culver Academy Varsity Baseball team continued its winning streak as the team hosted North Miami High School. The game started slow with North Miami scoring the first few points. However, Culver came together and took control of the game. The final score was Culver-15, North Miami-5.

CMA Rugby Photos: Culver Academy Varsity vs. Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger
Yesterday, I photographed the Culver Academy’s varsity rugby team as they hosted Fort Wayne’s Bishop Dwenger for an evening game at Fleet Field. Though Culver had a few players with injuries, they played exceptionally well. After scoring within the first minute of the game, they lead the entire game and won 30 to 10.

CGA JV Lacrosse Photos: Culver Academy vs. Park Tudor
The undeated Culver Academy Girls JV Lacrosse team played Park Tudor High School, which is the school that I would have attended had I not chosen Culver 28 years ago. The girls are still undefeated with an easy win and score of 12-to-2. The girls played exceptionally well and they have a coach who has developed the team. (Several of the girls had never played lacrosse before Culver.)
To the parents and kids, let me apologize. I started watching the game without a jacket on. With the wind, it was too cold for me. The only jacket that I had in the car was my embroidered CulverPhotos.com jacket, which is bright red, not the right color when shooting a game against Park Tudor. In my defense, I only have one embroidered jacket. When I had it made, I wanted a bright color that wouldn’t offend Culver Aacdemy supporters or Culver Communuity High School fans when I shot games where the two schools played one another. With that in mind, I chose red. In hindsight, I probably should have gotten a red jacket, an orange jacket, and a maroon jacket. Sorry if it looked like I was supporting your opponent.

Culver Academy JV Lacrosse Photos: CMA vs. South Bend St. Joseph
The CMA JV Lacrosse team hosted the South Bend St. Joseph team at Culver’s Oliver Field. It was a little overcast, which limited the colors that I could get as I shot.
Culver’s JV team played well and won 6-to-4.

CMA Rugby Photos: Culver Academy JV and Varsity vs. Arlington Stallions
I must admit that Rugby is becoming one of my favorite sports to shoot. I’m still not entirely sure what is going on during a game, but with each game, I understand a little more. With Rugby, there is so much action and opportunity for great photos, I find myself looking forward to each game.
The sun was actually shining a few weekends ago as Culver held Varsity and JV games at Fleet Field. The sun, my newest camera, which shoots 10 shots a second, the boys’ new uniforms, the opposing team having bright red in their uniforms, and the grass and trees finally getting some color made for some great photos. I can only imagine how the photos would turn out if Rugby were a Fall Sport played on the field.
Both of Culver’s team played well and really wanted to win. Unfortunately, they were out played by the Arlington Stallions.

CMA JV Baseball Photos: Culver Academy vs. Knox High School
Saturday morning, the CMA JV baseball team had a long day as they hosted Knox High School for a double header played at Culver Academies. The weather was deceiving and it was much colder out than expected with the sun shining. The CMA Eagles played well and tried hard but they were no match for the experienced team from Knox. The weather has canceled so many games and outdoor practices this season that you can understand why Culver struggled in this game.

Indiana Lacrosse Photos: Culver Academy Varsity vs. South Bend St. Joseph
Friday night, the Culver Academies Varsity Lacrosse team hosted South Bend St. Joseph’s Lacrosse team for an evening game played on Oliver Field overlooking Lake Maxinkuckee. The weather was nice and the lighting was good for getting some great action photos. With the sun starting to set, I managed to get some cool colors and neat shadows. As expected, the CMA Eagle played well, easily winning 12-to-2.
Before the game started, Culver honored their Seniors with Senior Ceremony, which is now a tradition with all of the sports.
I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here. There are several other photos and photos from the Senior Ceremony located at:

Girl’s JV Softball Photos: CGA vs. North Judson
Wow, it was a busy weekend at Culver Academies! As always, Culver tried to fit as many events as possible into their Spring Parent’s Weekend. For a change, the weather was quite nice, so I attempted to photograph as many things as possible. I’ll go ahead and apologize in advance, as there were few games that I managed to stay through the entire game. There were just too many things going on and too many others places I was trying to get to over the weekend.
On Friday night, I got a chance to watch my first softball game of the season. The CGA JV Softball team hosted North Judson High School. The Culver girls were a lot of fun to watch as they had so much fun playing. The girls struggled but it never appeared to affect their moods or the fact they were having fun and enjoying themselves. In their defense, I’m told that many of the girls have never played softball before. Knowing that, I think they did well.

Culver Lacrosse Photos: CGA JV and Varsity vs. Carmel High School
Last weekend, the sun was shining for a change as I shot my first lacrosse games of the season. The JV and Varsity teams of CGA hosted Carmel High School for back to back games Saturday afternoon. You can’t tell from the photos, but the field was a soggy mess from all of the rain that we’ve had.
The Culver girl’s JV team played an exceptional game, easily winning with a score of 11-to-2. The CGA Varsity team really struggled throughout their game and did not play up to their potential. They did have a great rally late in the game, but it was too little, too late. I’ve posted my favorite from both games here. Other photos are located at:
