2019-2020 San Diego Top 25 Basketball Student Section Rankings
The San Diego Basketball Student Sections were pretty even.
Eight student sections had a say for the top spot and those eight had something in common. They all worked a solid social media game.
Just some simple marketing work can go a long way and it worked.
We also have another eight student sections that weren’t ranked in last year’s Rankings make their debut this season.
This is a loaded group of student sections in San Diego that five student sections missed the cut to make the Top 25. Student Sections like Rancho Bernardo Stampede of San Diego, Vista Panther Pit, Lincoln Hive of San Diego, Montgomery Aztec Army of San Diego, Eastlake Titan Army of Chula Vista came close and hopefully we’ll see them next season.
Enough talk, let’s see who made the Top 25 and name a new student section champion!
2019-2020 SAN DIEGO TOP 25 BASKETBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS
1. St. Augustine Saints Pit of San Diego (Last Year: 2)
The Saints Pit came away with a last second power move!
They gave me the invite to drive down three hours to check them out and I left extremely impressed.
Consider this a buzzer beating shot type of moment. The Saints Pit went insanely nuts and didn’t stop with the crazy antics. The purple curtain didn’t disappoint.
The halftime show was a fun one to watch, but the second half was the cherry on top with the most insane things i’ve ever seen.
If you made a free throw with the Saints Pit crazy distractions, tell everyone your story because that is tough to do when you have to focus.
The Saints Pit stole the show and take the 2019-2020 San Diego Basketball Student Section of the Year title!
2. Cathedral Catholic Los Locos of San Diego (Last Year: 5)
The CCHS varsity boys basketball team defeated SAHS 56-48 tonight in round two of the Holy War. Alex Wade ‘21 and Obinna Anyanwu ‘21 led the Dons in scoring as CCHS extended it win streak to four games. #rolldons @CCHSAthletics @CCHSDONS pic.twitter.com/f2r1mtFgJ1
