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. Knox
After a rocky start this evening against Knox High School, the CGA JV Basketball Team pulled things together for an easy win. Trailing at the first period, Culver made some subsitutions and then got energized themselves. After the first period, Knox High School had little chance of winning as Culver dominated the rest of the game. The final score, 32-17. I’ve posted a couple of photos here, but there are more at www.culverphotos.com.

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.
Culver Academy Polo Photos: CGA Varsity Polo vs. University of Michigan
Another exciting polo game on Culver Academy’s campus. This morning, the CGA Varsity Polo team played a second game against the women’s polo team from the University of Michigan. It is a fun game to watch though unlike last night’s game, the CGA Eagles didn’t do as well. The University of Michigan team started strong and took an early lead that the Eagles never came back from. I think the Eagles took a few minutes to get into their groove, whereas the Michigan team started with theirs. The final score was Culver-9 and University of Michigan- 12. I’ve posted some photos here; you can find several more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Polo Photos: CGA Polo vs. University of Michigan
Polo is back! For those who don’t know me, I was in Troop A when I attended Culver Academy. 20+ years later, I’m still a trooper at heart and love photographing horses. Tonight, the CGA Varsity Polo team hosted the girls polo team from the University of Michigan. Adding to my excitement of being a Friday and the first Polo game of the season is the fact that I shot tonight using a brand new Nikon D300s that arrived today. I was an anxious mess all afternoon waiting for the game. Just ask my wife. I couldn’t sit still.
Both teams played well with the CGA team taking an early lead, which they held the entire first half. During the second half, the University of Michigan team dominated. They held the lead until half way through the 4th quater. The Culver girls came back and ended up winning 11 to 9. I’ve posted some photos here; you can find several more at www.culverphotos.com.

Today, the CGA Varsity Basketball Team played John Glenn High School at Culver Academy. The girls fought hard, but never got the upper hand. During the last quarter, the Eagles closed the score gap to within a few points, but the final score was Culver 48 and John Glenn 55. I’ve posted some photos here; find more at www.culverphotos.com.

I don’t know how much more I can take of close games after the Colts game on Sunday. (Sorry everyone, I live in Indiana and am a huge Colts fan.) The CGA JV Basketball team hosted John Glenn this evening and I found myself on the edge of my seat and feeling the same emotions that I felt a couple of nights ago during the football game. After trailing most of the game, the lady Eagles came back and tied the game with 46 seconds left in the game. With 20 seconds left, they scored. The final score: Culver-31 and John Glenn- 27. That is two wins in a row for the CGA JV Basketball team! You can find more photos at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CGA Varsity Basketball vs. Peru
Tonight, the CGA Girl’s Varsity Basketball team played their firt home game of the season against Peru. It was a fast-paced game in which you never knew what was going to happen next. The score was all over the place with no team dominating. I apologize for not having the exact scores but every few minutes, one of the teams was up by 5 to 11 points. A few minutes later the other was up by that same number of points. Just when you thought Culver had the game in the bag, the tide would turn and you’d get uncomfortable with how the game was going. Peru eventually clinched the win. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more located at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CGA JV Basketball vs. Peru
What a great game! Tonight, the CGA basketball teams hosted Peru high School for their first home games of the 2009-2010 season. In this game, the JV team played hard and trailed most of the game. With 40 seconds left in the game, the CGA Eagles were down by 2 points. Culver scored the tying point with 34 seconds remaining and the winning point with 14 seconds left in the game. The final score was Culver- 23, Peru- 21. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more photographs at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CGA U19 Hockey vs. Victory Honda
This afternoon was the second game of the weekend that Culver’s CGA U19 Hockey team played against Victory Honda at Culver Academy’s Henderson Ice Rink. Both teams played agressively. Victory won the game 5 to 3. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here. There are several hundred more located at www.culverphotos.com.
On a side note, the girl on the opposing team that went to the hospital in yesterday’s game has been released. I spoke with her today and she is sore and is planning on taking some time to rest, but she expects to be playing again soon. I’m sure that I speak for everyone in that we’re glad she’ll make a full recovery.
