2024 MARYLAND FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS
In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and in 2021, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states two years ago.
We went to all 50 states in winter of 2023. No one has ever done that before…until now!
This is still a one-man operation for the most part, but we have some help with some partners on Instagram like OC Student Sections, Stadium Geeks, Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more.
I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.
We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December.
If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.
Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion.
We continue with the 2024 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Maryland.
Now, we aren’t sure if our friends at Maryland Student Section Rater (@mdstudentsectionrater on Instagram) will be back this fall, but we will see. They have made it so easy these last few years and hope they are back. They have given us plenty of information in regards to Student Sections in this state and we hope to find more this fall.
Last Football season, we had the Archbishop Spalding Rowdy Red as the top Football Student Section in Maryland. Rowdy Red is about the same compared to other Student Sections in Maryland, but they are one of the best when it comes to social media promotion. They show off their school spirit every week and we expect them to defend their title.
In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Maryland, we have to go with the Walter Johnson Mighty Mad Cows. First off, great Student Section name. Second, this Student Section can pack the stands and can rock it in the stands and have shown it off on social media. The Mighty Mad Cows are one of those Student Sections that have what it takes to be one of the best in Maryland
Will the Mighty Mad Cows take the top spot in the state or will Rowdy Red take another one in the Old Line State? Let’s find out.
