This blog is an account of some of the many activities that are going on at Coker College in Hartsville, S.C. The majority of content is from R.A. Puffer, a professor in the communication department. It is an attempt to provide some ideas about how much goes on at this dynamic liberal arts college in Northeast South Carolina -- in Hartsville, about half way between Charlotte, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC.

Coker opens Lacrosse play on February 10
The Coker College Lacrosse team will take the field for the first time in regular season play on February 10, 2012 at the Byerly Park in Hartsville, S.C. against Shorter College.
Lots of people have never seen a lacrosse game so it seems a quick overview of some rules would be worth a blog post. This post is using information from a dedicated to lacrosse, called lacrosse-information.com. You should probably visit for more in-depth information on what is called the "fastest game on two feet."
LACROSSE BASICS
Lacrosse is a fast moving sport.
There are 10 people from a team on the field at a time (20 people on the field total). There are 3 attackmen, 3 middies, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie.
Much like basketball, there are 4 quarters in a game, and the team with the most points at the end of the games wins.
A player scores by shooting the ball from their stick's pocket into the opposing team's goal.
The lacrosse ball is about the size of a baseball. It is a solid rubber ball.
Men's Lacrosse Rules
Men's lacrosse is a contact game played by ten players:http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif a goalie, three defensemen, three midfielders and three attackmen. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most goals wins.
Each team must keep at least four players, including the goalie, in its defensive half of the field and three in its offensive half. Three players (midfielders) may roam the entire field.
Collegiate games are 60 minutes long, with 15-minute quarters. Generally, high school games are 48 minutes long, with 12-minute quarters. Likewise, youth games are 32 minutes long, with eight-minute quarters. Each team is given a two-minute break between the first and second quarters, and the third and fourth quarters. Halftime is ten minutes long.

The result is actually quite charming and I think fans of Sinn, or replica watches who is looking for a hardy and tough chronograph, will be pleased. The accompanying app on your smartphone also provides quicker and easier control of the watch various functions. The best thing about it, to me at least, is that these new rolex replica sale are significantly smaller, which makes them easier and more comfortable to wear. Junghans is a hublot replica watch brand that is becoming increasingly popular. Many of you were intrigued by the 2018 replica watches and it is not difficult to see why. The design is quirky and straddles the line between replica watches and modern. The dial is clean, but is all boring. It is practical too, with highly legible hands and rolex replica sale registers.
