Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA U16 Hockey vs. Pittsburg Penguins
This weekend, the Culver Military Academy U16 Hockey Team hosted the Pittsburg Jr. Penguin’s Hockey Team for two matchups- one Saturday and one Sunday. In Saturday’s game, the CMA Eagles fought hard but were outplayed. It was an exciting game, though I wish the outcome had been different. The final score was 3-4. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more under the Culver Academy, Culver Sports section at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CMA Freshman Basketball vs. Triton
This morning, the freshman basketball team of Culver Academy hosted Triton High School in a matchup on Culver Academy’s campus. The game was close and exiting with the lead changing several times throughout the game. Ultimately though, Culver could not pull off a victory. They played a great game. The final score, 22-27. I’ve posted some photos here, but you can find several more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CMA Varsity Basketball vs. South Bend Adams
Some days I’m thankful that I’m self employed and working for myself. Today was one of those days because I would have been fired if I worked for a magazine or newspaper. Tonight, the CMA Varsity Basketball Team hosted the South Bend Adams Team in Culver, Indiana in one of the most exciting games that I’ve ever watched. When things get intense during a game, I sometimes forget about being a photographer and taking photos and instead, i get caught up in the game and being a fan! Tonight, this hppened. Tonight, I missed a shot that that I’ll probably never see again in my life. Tonight, I even forgot to write down the final score. All I know or care about is that Culver won their first home game of the season. And they won it in the last second of the game!
The game was well played by both teams and was exiting to watch as their was no clear dominate team. With a packed gym full of fans from both sides. the intensity grew during the 4th period when it became appearant that either team could win the game. With 5 seconds left in the game and the CMA Eagles down by 1, a three pointer shot was taken. As the ball approached the rim, #42 on Culver’s team, jumped up and dunked the ball through the rim. The buzzer sounded as the ball hit the floor. Culver won by a point and the fans went nuts. During those last seconds, I was a spectator instead of a photographer! I may have missed the shot, but I was at least fortunate to have been witness to this play. Find more photos from this game at wwww.culverphotos.com. There are tons of great shots of the action!
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.
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.
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.
Culver Academy Basketball Photos: CMA Varsity Basketball vs. St. Joe
Tonight, I photographed a scrimmage between Culver Acadmey and St. Joseph High School’s Varsity Basketball team. I must say, I have a lot to learn about how scimmages are played. I watched four periods and left confused as I didn’t know if anyone won because the score was reset to zero at the end of each period. I posted some photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
