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.

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.

Culver Academy Hockey Photos: CMA Prep Hockey vs. St. Mary’s (Game 2)

Today was the rematch between Culver’s Prep Hockey team and St. Mary’s Hockey team. Unfortunately, I was able to stay for just 2 of the 3 periods due to a prior engagement. I’m told that I missed a great 3rd period. In what I did watch, St. Mary’s learned from the game last night and proved to be a tough opponent in this game. I’m told that the final score ended in a tie 1-to-1 with Culver scoring in the last seconds of the game for a tie.

I’m not sure what happened overnight since yesterday’s loss to this same team, but today, the CMA Eagles came to play. This afternoon, the CMA U16 Hockey team got a rematch game against the Pittsburg Jr. Penguins. The game was not a disappointment with Culver dominating the ice throughout the game. With a final score of 6-to-1, the Eagles redeemed themselves. I’ve posted a few photos here; find tons more in the online gallery located at www.culverphotos.com.

Today, the Culver Prep Hockey team showed everyone why they are considered one of the best hocky programs in the country. Playing against St. Mary’s from Michigan, the CMA Prep team came to play and dominated the entire team. It was a fast-paced game that was exciting to watch. Culver won 6-to-0. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more in the Culver Academy Galleries on www.culverphotos.com.

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!

CCHS Basketball Photos: Culver Community 7th Grade Basketball vs. Rochester

This was the sceond game of the evening played at Culver Community’s Middle School. In this game, the 7th Grade Basketball Team faced off against the 7th Grade Team from Rochester. The Culver team played hard and never gave up even in the face of defeat. I’ve seen plenty of High School teams that could have learned from these kids who played until the end and never believed that they couldn’t come back and win. It was a fun game to watch though I wish the outcome had been different. The final score was 10-35.  I’ve posted a few photos here; there are lots more in the Culver Community School Corporation section at www.culverphotos.com.

CCHS Basketball Photos: CCHS 8th Grade Basketball vs. Rochester

If you haven’t been to a middle school sporting event in a while, I strongly recommend that you attend one where ever you happen to be from. They are just fun to watch as the kids are still learning and working on their skills and they haven’t forgotten the enjoyment aspect of playing. This evening, the Culver Community Middle School’s 8th Grade Basketball Team hosted the Rochester Zebras. This game was dominated by Culver who kept the lead throughout the game. It was an easy victory for Culver. They won 46-35. I’ve posted some photos here; there are more at www.culverphotos.com.
