Culver Academy Volleyball Photos: CGA Varsity Volleyball vs. Oregon Davis
This was the second half of the evening with the CGA Varsity Volleyball team hosting Oregon Davis High School at Culver Academy. The games were fun to watch with the teams very well matched. I stayed for three games with the CGA Eagles winning the first game and barely getting beat in the two following games. I’ve posted a few of my favorites here; more photos can be found at www.culverphotos.com.
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.

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.
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.

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.

The CGA Girl’s Freshman Volleyball team played a great match on Thursday night. I regret that I was only able to watch the first two games. They won both games. The first game was an easy win, but the second game turned out to be a nail biter with a very close score. Though the girls have only been playing together for a few weeks, I think they played well as team. I’m curious to see how they did against the second school they were scheduled to play. I’m looking forward to catching more games in the future. I’ve posted the rest of the photos at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Photographer: Busy Afternoon
Today was a very busy afternoon in Culver with four different sporting events going on at the same time. Instead of focusing on any single game, I tried (and managed) to get photos at all the events. I have no idea what the final scores were, but I decided that it was more important to get photos from as many games as I could instead of focusing on a specific game. The four games that I have photos from are: CMA Varsity Soccer vs. Culver Community School Coproration, CGA Varsity Soccer, CGA JV Soccer, and CMA Varsity Tennis. To avoid cluttering the blog, I posted all of the photos at www.culverphotos.com.

I really was looking forward to this game as it was the first game that I covered for the 2009-2010 school year. It may have only beeen a scrimage, but the girls played as though it were a championship game. The game didn’t start until 7:00 p.m., so I was faced with a setting sun that made more warm photos. In the beginning, I was able to get fast shutter speeds with my 70-200 mm f2.8 with a 2x duplexer, but as the game progressed, I was fighting the lack of light. For this game, I had a difficult time choosing my favorites. I ended up with a lot of photos that showed great action. If you’d like to see more after viewing what I have posted here, please visit www.culverphotos.com. There, I’ve posted 187 photos from the game under the Culver Academy, Sports section.
Culver Academy Tennis Photos: CGA Varsity Tennis Sectionals
As you can see in this picture, coach Alan Loehr and his CGA Varsity squad had a great season. In fact, this has been the case for the past few seasons, as CGA tennis continues to send more and more girls to the competitive regionals and state tournaments. In this event, the girls proved to be successful again. For more pictures, see the www.culverphotos.com web site.
