MUNCIE, Ind. — This year, a Cowan girls basketball practice sounds different than it ever has during head coach Jeff Tharp's tenure.
The girls, for the first time, are allowed to play music before and during warmups. Tharp may not know most, if any, of the artists kids listen to these days, but he's certain the team has responded positively to the change.
"It brings a new energy that wasn't there before," senior forward Josie Byrd said. "He brought it up to us and we were like, 'Your sure?'"
"I think it's a good idea because it gets us more hype before practice," junior guard Davelynn Lindsay said.
