The girls varsity basketball team enters the season with a new coach, focus, and playlist. The playlist includes songs like “Hall of Fame” by Swoope and “Pure Water” by Mustard and Migos.

The girls basketball team finished their season last year with a 10-13 record, and advanced to the quarterfinals in sections. They were then bested by the number 1 ranked, eventual state champion, Minnehaha 57-15 ending their season. Since then, the team lost three seniors and changed their head coach. With all of these changes, members of the team are not sure how the season will play out. 

Junior captain Rashmi Raveendran said, “I am optimistic for the season, but since we have a lot of new players and new coaches we might take some time to adjust.”

Just as many other teams do, the team created a music playlist for their warm up period before games. Raveendran was one of the members of the team tasked with creating a playlist, and incorporated many rap songs from the likes of DaBaby, Migos, and Big Sean. “My favorite song on the playlist is the first one [“Icon” by Jaden], because it’s the song that we come onto the court during and it gets us pumped up,” Raveendran said.

Raveendran and the team will use this playlist this Saturday, when they take on Trinity @4:30 p.m. at SPA.

A full version of the playlist is available to stream on Spotify.
