CCHS Basketball vs. Argos High School
The Culver Community High School basketball teams are rocking it this year! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to attend the girls’ games, but I did make it to the Sectional game for the boys last week. The Culver Cavaliers played their long-time rivals from Argos High School in JV and Varsity Basketball. All teams played well and were exciting to watch. Argos won the JV game but Culver won the Varsity game. I’ve included my favorite photos here. Other photos from the game are posted at:

Culver Indiana Photography: Donkey Basketball
This evening, I went to the CCHS gym to watch and photograph donkey basketball. Having never seen this sport before, I really had no idea of what to expect. Even now after sitting through several games, I don’t think that I’ll do it justice to describe it. Donkey basketball is a hoot to watch as it is more about trying to get on and stay on the donkeys. Once on, trying to get them to move is quite a challenge. One of the best moments came in the beginning when I was checking my camera and the announcer came on the loud speaker and said quite loudly, “so-and-so is making a break for it”. I looked up to see a man with the basketball leading 7 other donkeys as he went toward the opposite end. Of course, he and the 7 other donkeys and riders were moving at the blinding pace that I could have past them had I been crawling along the ground. Things would progress at this rate until the man that cared for the donkeys would bang a stick against the ground and the animals would go nuts. Some would run, some would buck, and others reared. As I’m sure that you can see in the photos, I was not the only person laughing my butt off. If the whole event weren’t funny enough to begin with, add to it the fact that the “players” were Culver’s Police Cheif and an officer, our Town Manager, our Town Clerk, some firemen, teachers, coaches, our local newspaper reporter, and even some high school students.
I’ve posted some photos here. There are hundreds more at www.culverphotos.com/donkeybasketball. If you do visit the website, take notice of the photos of standalone donkeys. These photos came about whenever the donkeys threw their riders and managed to escape for a minute or two.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CGA Varsity Basketball vs. CCHS
What an incredible game between the girl’s varity basketball teams of Culver Community High School and the Culver Girls Academy! Not rooting for either team–my home town high school team or my alma mater–was very difficult. Both teams were evenly matched and played their hearts out. Culver Academy had CCHS outsized, but this didn’t seem to matter. The CCHS girls took advantage of their speed. Regulation play ended in a tie, which added to the excitment. In overtime, Culver Academy Girls won the game 67-59. With a tied game after four periods, no one should feel bad. In my both book, both teams won. I’ve posted some photos here. There were too many shots to choose from, so I’ve posted tons more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CGA JV Basketball vs. CCHS
Tonight the Culver Girls Academy basketball teams hosted the Culver Community High School teams both JV and Varsity games. As much as I enjoy these match ups between the two schools, it always places me in an awkward situation as I never know who to root for, as I’m loyal to both teams! I ultimately end up rooting for no one and enjoy the game for what it is, which is a great way to shoot a game and watch it. These two teams were a great matchup. The photos here are from the JV game. Culver Girls Academy won this one. Find more photos of both teams and this game 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.

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.
