Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CMA JV Basketball vs. South Bend Adams
Tonight, I took photos of High School Basketball at its best. This was the first game of the evening with the CMA Eagles JV Basketball team hosting South Bend Adams. The teams were well matched with no team dominating the game. The Culver Academy JV team fought hard, but couldn’t pull out a victory. The final score was 35-42. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: Culver Community 7th Grade Basketball vs. Rochester
This was the sceond game of the evening played at Culver Community’s Middle School. In this game, the 7th Grade Basketball Team faced off against the 7th Grade Team from Rochester. The Culver team played hard and never gave up even in the face of defeat. I’ve seen plenty of High School teams that could have learned from these kids who played until the end and never believed that they couldn’t come back and win. It was a fun game to watch though I wish the outcome had been different. The final score was 10-35. I’ve posted a few photos here; there are lots more in the Culver Community School Corporation section at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: CCHS 8th Grade Basketball vs. Rochester
If you haven’t been to a middle school sporting event in a while, I strongly recommend that you attend one where ever you happen to be from. They are just fun to watch as the kids are still learning and working on their skills and they haven’t forgotten the enjoyment aspect of playing. This evening, the Culver Community Middle School’s 8th Grade Basketball Team hosted the Rochester Zebras. This game was dominated by Culver who kept the lead throughout the game. It was an easy victory for Culver. They won 46-35. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: CCHS Varsity Basketball vs. Rochester Zebras
This was the second basketball game of the evening between the varsity teams from Culver Community High School and the Rochester Zebras. (The earlier game involved the Girls’ Varsity teams, while this was the Boys’ teams.) Like the earlier game, this game was also close and kept fan on the edge of their seats. The Cavaliers lead after the first quarter, trailed by 7 at the half, and were down by two going into the fourth quarter. Even with two and half minutes left, Culver was only down a point. It was a great game and fun to watch, but CCHS couldn’t pull out a win. Final Score: Culver-51, Rochester- 57. I’ve posted some photos here; there are several more at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: CCHS Girls Varsity Basketball vs. Rochester
Don’t let the final score fool you! In the matchup this evening between the Girls Varsity Basketball Team of Culver Community High School and the Lady Zebras from Rochester High School, the score is deceiving. The final score was Culver- 49, Rochester- 54. This was a nail biter of a game. The first quarter ended tied at 14. At the half and also after the 3rd period, Culver trailed by 9. With 3 minutes left in the game, Culver tied the game. At two and half minutes left, the score was tied again. With 26 seconds left in the game, Culver was up by 1 point. This ended when with 19 seconds left in the game, the Zebras hit a 3-point shot. The Lady Cavaliers played well and were in the right position to win. Unfortunately, things didn’t go their way. It was a great game and I, like most everyone there, was on the edge of my seat for the last couple of minutes. I’ve posted my favorite photos here; there are more posted at www.culverphotos.com.
CCHS Basketball Photos: Culver Community Freshman Boys Basketball vs. John Glenn
Tonight, I had a little free time while waiting for my wife to get out of a Town Council meeting, so I watched the CCHS Freshman Basketball Team play John Glenn. I was hoping to watch more, but a Council meeting two nights before Thanksgiving generally means the schedule is light, so I was called early to pick up my wife. The Culver Cavaliers played well. At the half, Culver was trailing, but I don’t know the final outcome of the game, as I had to leave. I hope they continued to play hard and closed the gap. I’ve posted a few photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. Lansing Capitals
After defeating the Lansing Capitals hockey team last night 5 to 1, the Culver Prep hockey team did not do as well today. They lost in a close, hard faught game. The final score was 3 to 2. The game was fast paced with some excellent plays, though the Lansing Capitals proved to learn from their mistakes from the previous night. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here, but please www.culverphotos.com for more photos from this game or other Culver Academy photos and hockey games.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Varsity Hockey vs. NW Chargers
Today, I took photos of Culver Academy’s Boy’s Varsity Hockey team as they played the NW Chargers. This was the second match up of these teams during the weekend, though I was shooting a different hockey match last night when they played. As an observer who has never played hockey, I’m not the best judge of whether a team is playing well or not. Unfortunately, the team lost by more than a couple of points. I still managed to get some great shots using my new D300s that I purchased a couple of days ago. I’ve posted my favorite photos here; there are more hockey photos and Culver photos at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. Lansing Capitals
Culver Academy photos. What’s there not to love? It is much more enjoyable when Culver plays strong and wins. Tonight, for the second game of the evening (actually it was the 4th, but I’ve yet to figure out how to be in two rinks at the same time), the CMA Prep Team played the Lansing Capitals. The enitre game was dominated by the CMA Eagles who played well as a team and showed some great passing skills. The final score was Culver-5 and Lansing- 1. I’ve posted some photos here, but you can find over 100 more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CGA U19 Hockey vs. C.Y.A
Today, I shot photos for the Culver Academy Girls U19 Hockey Team; they played against C.Y.A. It was a great game. The CGA team took an early lead that they held the entire game. The girls did better than the last game that I shot at staying out of the penalty box, which was a key facor in winning the game. The final score was Culver- 3, CYA-2. I’ve posted some photos here, though there are more located at www.culverphotos.com.
