getting some face time.

NOT TO BE OUTDONE
BY WATER BALLOON LAUNCHERS, the humanities class led by Dr. Erwin and Mr. Sampson decided the fate of humanity yesterday.
Alien judges heard  arguments on whether humanity should be allowed to renew its lease on
earth and life itself in the Court of the Aliens.
If you’re reading this, Joe Stamper and his defense team must
have been successful. Thanks
Joe. Here Mr. Sampson,
Andrew Kime, Joe Stamper, Seth Robinson, Jennifer Faulk, and Jake Seberger
heed Caitlin Meare’s successful defense of the human species in the
Alien Court.

SOFTBALL ADVANCES TO SECTIONAL
FINAL
WITH THRILLING 4-3 WIN
New Carlisle, IN - Culver's varsity softball team (21-1), ranked
No.2 in Indiana Class 2-A, came back from a three-run deficit to oust the
two-time defending champion St. Joe Indians (19-11) 4-3 in the semi-finals
of the New Prairie Sectional yesterday.
Senior Katie Maroney knocked in the winning run with the bases
loaded, smacking the ball to left field and bringing home junior Meghan
Devlin from third base with one out in the bottom of the seventh and final
inning.
The name of the game for the Eagles in the decisive inning was
simply to put the bat on the ball, and the Eagles did just that.
Devlin led off the inning with an infield single. Sophomore Emily
Newby followed with a single and freshman Alexia Clay loaded the bases
with yet another single. Maroney stepped up to the plate and delivered a
shocking blow to the Indians and their hopes for three consecutive
Sectional championships.
Coach Jen Mascari's team uncharacteristically got off to a rocky
start, going down 2-0 after the opening inning. Freshman hurler Jackie
Lawrence walked in a run and the Culver defense attempted to catch a St.
Joe's base runner off guard in a pickle situation with runners at first
and third. The tag at first was controversially called late and the runner
at third sneaked home in the process. 
St. Joe's added another run in the top of the third after a single
scored a runner from second.
Clay got the Eagles on the board in the bottom of the third,
smashing a double to right-center and scoring Newby and senior Ashleigh
Sheppard. Lawrence tied the game at 3-3 when she knocked in Clay on an
error. Lawrence hit a blooper that was dropped in the Indian's outfield.
Lawrence and the Eagles played solid defensive softball to
preserve the tie and to give themselves an opportunity to win the game in
its late moments.
Lawrence retired the side in the top of the fourth inning and
miraculously powered her way out of a situation where St. Joe's put
runners on first and second with no outs in the top half of the fifth.
Lawrence had four strikeouts on the day.
The last time the two teams met was on May 17 when St. Joe's gave
Culver its only loss of the season with a 1-0 nine-inning win in the
championship game of the Goshen Tournament.
Culver shutout Marian 3-0 in the first round of the Sectional
at New Prairie on Monday.
The Eagles get their shot at a Sectional championship and a chance
to advance to the Regionals Friday at 5:00 p.m. against the winner of host
New Prairie (22-7) and John Glenn (15-13), Northern State Conference
rivals.

“SO I SHOW UP AT CULVER, BABY FACED, AND IGNORANT,
especially to what Culver had in store for me. I had never shaved before
in my life…OK, so I had TRIED, but who was I kidding? I didn’t have a
single whisker on my face. And after a few weeks at Culver I realized
there were hundreds of
things I had never experienced before.
“Never before had I been crammed in a place with 200 other people
who had never seen or met one another. But amazingly, Culver has a
way of transforming those 200 or so strangers into a tight-woven network
of brothers and sisters,” said Regimental Commander Andrew Ramsey at
yesterday’s last All-School Meeting of the year.
Read the rest of Andrew’s reflection on his Culver career here.
