Culver Academy Volleyball Photos: CGA JV Volleyball vs. Oregon Davis
This evening, the CGA JV and Varsity Volleyball teams hosted Oregon Davis. I posted a few of my favorite photos from the JV game. I’ve uploaded more photos at www.culverphotos.com. I didn’t take as many photos of this game because the JV team dominated in the games and quickly won them.

Today’s Culver Academy JV football team played John Glenn at home. The photographs from today’s game reflect how hard both teams played. There was a lot of action on the field, and the game was tied until the last minute of the game when John Glenn scored. As you can in the photos, players were in the air and all over the football. The Culver defense fought hard all night and caused John Glenn to make several turnovers. As photographers, we had a lot of opportunity for action shots tonight. We had a hard time picking our favorites, so check out more photos of this exciting game at www.culverphotos.com.

This was the second set of games played tonight by the Volleyball teams at Culver Academy. Earlier, the JV Volleyball team played. These pictures are from the Varsity Volleyball game. I wish that I had been able to stay past the first Varsity game as the teams were so well matched and the score throughout the game was quite close. Unfortunately though, other obligations required me to leave early.

What a couple of fun games to watch. This evening, the Girls JV and Varsity Volleyball teams hosted LaVille at Culver Academy. All the teams were very well matched with close scores in all the games. In the games that I watched, you had no idea who was actually going to win until the final volley. Below are some posts from the JV game. I’ve posted other photos from the game at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Volleyball Photos: CGA Freshman Volleyball
This evening the Culver Girl’s Academy Freshman Volleyball team hosted a 3×3 tournament at Culver Academy. The team had some great plays but, as an observer who has never played volleyball, I think that they were having some difficulty with communication and being in synch with one another. That’s expected of a team of girls who have come together to play for the first time in their careers. There were several times when the team did work as a cohesive group. When they did, they were amazing.
Culver Academy Soccer Photos: CGA Varsity Soccer vs. West Lafayette
Today was a beautiful day to watch the CGA varsity girl’s soccer team play at Culver Academy. As the day progressed, the temperature rose and I felt sorry for the girls. It was hot just taking pictures. I could only imagine how the girls felt running around in the heat.
The lady Eagles played an excellent game that was quite exciting to watch. From what I saw, both teams were evenly matched with no clear dominate team. I found myself staying in the middle of the filed as there was great action happening on both ends of the field. I’m not sure what the final score ended up being. (I shot three soccer games today.) But, whichever team won, I’m sure it was hard fought.
I’ve posted my favorites here, but there are several hundred more located at www.culverphotos.com. Just click on the “Culver Academy” link, and the “Culver Sports” section.

It was a beautiful day for a home soccer game on the Culver Academy campus. The sun was shinning and I was comfortable in shorts and a short-sleeve shirt. I’d like to hope that weather like today will continue, but I suspect that the days when shorts are comfortable will not be around for long.
I did, however, make a poor choice in clothing color. For those who know me or who have seen me at games, most know that red is a favorite color of mine. What can I say, I like wearing my red wind breaker to events as it is loose and has large pockets. The bright color has also prevented me from getting hit on more than one occassion. Today, in addition to my red windbreaker, I also had on a red polo shirt. As you can probably tell from the pictures, I probably should not have worn red. Believe it not, it actually took a few minutes for some Eagle’s parents to talk to me as they thought that I was supporting the other team.
The girls played a great game, but they didn’t win. After 80 minutes of intense play, the final score was Eagles-0, West Lafeyette-1. I’ve posted a few pictures here, but there are many more at www.culverphotos.com.

I must admit that I do not know what the final score of this game ended up being. Like so many busy Saturdays, I spent the day running around between events trying to get as many photos as I could instead of focusing on one particular game.
I can say this about the game- The Culver Academy’s JV Soccer team played their hearts out. I doubt though, that this was good enough. The team that they were playing against was good. Really good! I suspect that most High School Varsity teams would have struggled against this JV team. In fact, I had to ask someone near me if this was indeed a JV game as I thought that ther had been a last-minute change in the schedule. Watching the game, it was very clear they the kids on the opposing team have played togethr as teammates for many years.
Culver Academy Football Photos: CMA Varsity Football vs. Brebeuf
It is a proud day to be an Eagle. This evening the Culver Academy Eagles varsity football team hosted Brebeuf High School. The Eagles played a great game and won the game with a final score of 28 to 13. The highlight of the game was when Culver returned a kick for a touchdown after allowing Brebeuf’s first score. This quickly quieted Berbeuf’s crowd. Both teams played a hard-fought game with some great passes, blocking, and running. As hard as the opposing team fought, I thought it would have been an even closer game, but Culver’s defense didn’t give much up. Ginny sat in the stands for a few minutes of the game and commented on how involved the crowd was in the game. It was a great game! To see more photos, visit www.culverphotos.com.

The CMA varsity soccer team played another home game at Culver Academy this afternoon against Concord High School. It was a great game to watch, but unfortunately Culver Academy lost 0-3. You can tell these kids have to be flexible and in shape to play soccer. I tried to get shots that reflect their athleticism. For more pictures, see the gallery at www.culverphotos.com.
