In-Game Basketball Music (LONG post)

Here's what's up: last year I was one of two PA announcers for sports events at the school my siblings attend. This year, I'm the announcer. The athletic director and I are currently working together to come up with a playlist of in-game music. This is the first year the school has done anything like this aside from running a CD during pre-game warmups.

What I need from outside sources are suggestions on tracks. I already have a list of music that I want (and some of which I already have). What would you, as a sports fan, want to hear at a game? Keep in mind, these songs will be played at basketball, volleyball and soccer games, and this is a small-town private school (so while a lot of rhythmic tracks are welcome, they need to be well edited by the producer to remove any language... no obviously suggestive lyrics, either).

Here's the list of what I already have and want. Any suggestions for additions, removals, remixes... anything... would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
