Culver Academy Rugby Photos: CMA JV Rugby vs. North Central
In the second rugby match of the day, the Culver Academy Eagles played against the JV Rugby Team of the North Central Panthers. The weather was great and both teams played well. It was exciting to watch and I’m thankful that Spring Sports have started and I’m back to shooting outdoor events. I’ve posted some photos here; there are several more at http://www.culverphotos.com/p853198773.

Culver Academy Baseball Photos: CCHS Varsity Baseball vs. Lacrosse
This morning the Culver Community High School Varsity Baseball Team hosted a double header against Lacrosse High School. The weather was great, though it was a little chilly at the beginning of the game. I wasn’t able to stay for all of the games, but what I did watch proved that the Caveliers will be a tough opponent this season. Following are some photos from the game; there are several more at http://www.culverphotos.com/p808142882.
Culver Community High School Photographer: CCHS Sport Spectacular
This evening, the Culver Community High School held its annual Sports Spectacular. This is a fun event where grades 7 through 12 compete against one another in different relays and competitions with all of the proceeds benefitting the CCHS Athletic Department. To make things more interesting, even the parents of the different grades participated and competed in a couple of the relays. Photos from the individual events can be found on culverphotos.com at http://www.culverphotos.com/f770427651.

Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CGA U19 Hockey vs. Ohio Flames
This weekend, the CGA U19 Hockey team hosting a tournament with 6 teams competing on Culver Academy’s campus. Shown below are some photos from the first game that featured Culver playing against the Ohio Flames. It was a great game, even though the girls could not pull off a win.

Culver Academy Horsemanship Photos: Cupid’s Challenge 2010
This weekend, the Culver Academy JV and Varsity Jumping teams hosted the 2010 Cupid’s Challenge Horse Show. This is an annual show at Culver’s Riding Hall in which 7 or 8 teams teams travel to Culver to participate. I believe that Culver placed well overall, though with 14 classes competeting on both Friday and Saturday, I’m honestly not sure what the final results ended up being. I do know from talking with several of the parents and coaches from the visiting teams that the kids love this show and look forward to it each year. I’d like to recognize everyone that works in the Horsemanship Department for a great tournament, as this truly was a group effort on their part to put on this show. It is also worth noting that the Lady Equestrienne Team from Notre Dame graciously came down for the weekend to assist.

Culver Academy Fencing Photos: Culver Fencing Tournament
Today, the Culver Fencing Teams hosted one of the largest fencing tournaments in the Midwest. With close to 200 kids competing in 20-30 different areas, this event was something to witness. I’ve never watched fencing, though I found it interesting. I’ve posted a few photos here; there are more at http://www.culverphotos.com/p1005382416 I apologize that there are not as many as I post for some events that I cover, but I found myself having a difficult time keeping track of the Academy students versus other teams, as everyone looked the same in their uniforms.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA U16 Hockey vs. Mercer Chiefs
What a long weekend for the CMA U16 hockey team! Today was the fourth and final game for Culver Academy Eagles in their Christmas break Invitational Tournament. I feel sorry for all the teams having had to play four games in a weekend, but I feel especially bad for the Culver boys because Chirstmas vacation started for their classmates four days ago.
Culver Academy ended the weekend in the 3rd and 4th place brakets against the Mercer Chiefs who they played yesterday morning and lost to. Watching today’s game, I remembered how much fun these two teams were to watch against each other. Both teams played hard and showed great sportsmanship with very few fouls throughout the game. If I recall, Culver only had 2 or 3 penalities the entire game and there were times when the game would continue for 3-4 minutes without any whistle. It truly was fun to watch.
Having lost yesterday, Culver played well and dominated the entire game, bringing home a win. I’m proud of Culver, but the Chiefs still need to be recognized for their play. There are a few things about the Chiefs that I feel should be pointed out. First off, I believe that they were the smallest team to play in the tournament with only 12 kids. If you think about it, that is 216 minutes of hard, tournament play spread across 12 players. Secondly, due to concerns about the impending weather conditions, their goalie left last night or this morning and did not play in today’s game. Instead, their backup goalie played who did a great job. Don’t get me wrong, I am a Culver fan through and through. But, in today’s win, I don’t feel that it is appropriate to gloat. The Chiefs did a great job. I’ve posted my favorite photos here; there over 300 more at http://www.culverphotos.com/p912711270.
