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 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 Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. Lansing Capitals
After defeating the Lansing Capitals hockey team last night 5 to 1, the Culver Prep hockey team did not do as well today. They lost in a close, hard faught game. The final score was 3 to 2. The game was fast paced with some excellent plays, though the Lansing Capitals proved to learn from their mistakes from the previous night. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos here, but please www.culverphotos.com for more photos from this game or other Culver Academy photos and hockey games.
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 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 Hockey Photos: CMA Varsity Hockey vs. Carmel
Some things never change! 25 years ago, the Carmel Hockey teams were a big rival for the Culver Hockey program and it appears that the same still holds true. Carmel proved to be a tough competitor for the CMA Varsity Hockey Team at today’s home game, but the CMA Eagles emerged victorious. The final score was Culver-4 and Carmel-2. In all fairness to Carmel, the score should have been 3 to 2 as one of Culver’s points occured on a pass back on Carmel’s part to their goalie who either sliped or misread the pass, allowing a slow-moving puck to get by him. As thankful as everyone was on Culver’s side for the point, the coaches, the fans, and the players felt compassion for the young man because it was an accident that shouldn’t have resulted in a score. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos from the game here. You can find more 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: CMA Varsity Hockey vs. Prairie Ridge High School
This morning, the CMA Eagle’s Varsity Hockey Team played their second game against the Prairie Ridge High School Hockey Team. Plagued by penalties and up against a team that used the previous night’s loss to refresh, regenerate, and relight their passion, the Culver Academy Eagles did not fair well. I don’t know if the Prairie Ridge team studied the tapes from last night or if their desire to win was just that strong. Regardless, they played well and capitalized on CMA’s penalties. The final score was CMA-1, Prairie Ridge-5. I’ve posted some photos here; there are 200 more at www.culverphotos.com. Look under the Culver Academy/Culver Sports section.
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.
