2024 MASSACHUSETTS FOOTBALL TOP 40 STUDENT SECTION PRESEASON RANKINGS

Off front, Northeast, Previews, Student Section Buzz,

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 Massachusetts.

The Northeastern State we have had a hard time figuring out and discovering Student Sections, but we’ve shockingly found some Student Sections in Massachusetts and we hope to find some more this fall.

Last Football season, we had the Malden Catholic Pit as the top Football Student Section in Massachusetts. The Pit got by the top spot last season and they hope to repeat, but some Student Sections in this state are going to battle and dethrone the Pit. It can be done, so the Pit has to be ready this fall.

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 Massachusetts, we have to go with Durfee. This is a Student Section that is small, but I feel in time with some more promoting of their Student Section on social media, they can end at the top part of the rankings as one of the best in the state.

Will Durfee take the top spot in the state or will the Pit take another one in the Old Colony State? Let’s find out.
