2024 NEBRASKA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS
The time has come to start ranking 50 states that we covered this football season.
To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is a huge huge understatement.
We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Nebraska and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which ones wanted it more.
Just showing up in large crowds isn’t enough. It might fool other outlets that don’t cover Student Sections, but not us. We have to know how bad you want it and marketing is key.
You will see top-notch Student Sections miss out at the top spot, but we kept saying it over and over and over again, in order to be considered number one, you have to win the Student Section of the Week title. Otherwise, what is the point of having that contest?!
I know Student Sections complain but remember it’s thousands of Student Sections and only me. Social media is your friend if used correctly.
A Student Section that doesn’t post videos or photos of there Student Section on a consistent basis is like a tree falling with no one around. It doesn’t make any noise.
This is our third year covering Football Student Sections in Nebraska. We had Millard West Crazies win it in 2022 and 2023.
Millard West Crazies are looking for a threepeat, but it may be difficult with some solid Student Sections. Nebraska got a bit better in the Student Section scene.
What is helping us is @omahahssports and @djkdubomaha on Instagram. They love to cover Student Sections and have helped us make Nebraska one of the deeper Student Section states.
We will have 4 Student Sections in Nebraska that will be voting in the Student Section playoffs that will begin soon.
So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Cornhusker State.
2024 NEBRASKA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS
RED = PLAYOFF BOUND
- Westside Redshield (2023 Rank: 2)
When I spoke with Omaha HS Sports about who they felt was the best Student Section in the state, they mentioned Westside and a couple other Student Sections. The Redshield knows it is not easy to be considered the best in the state with another Student Section being known by many outside of the state, but they did the work in the stands to earn this. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon, but for now, they’re the 2024 Nebraska Football Student Section of the Year!
- Millard West Crazies (2023 Rank: 1)
I wish we can interact with the Crazies. They look like a solid Student Section and they have been for years. They go crazy in the stands. If they can show off more of their Student Section, they would be one of the well-known Student Sections year after year! We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!
- Skutt Catholic Skyhawk Screamers (2023 Rank: NR)
From unranked to a Top 5 Student Section ranking. When I tell people it will take a couple of years to perfect the rankings, this is what I mean. You will discover powerhouse Student Sections like these. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!
- Papillon La Vista-South Blackhole (2023 Rank: 5)
The Blackhole didn’t promote on social media as much as they did in the past, but when we did see them, they were a dynamite Student Section. We’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start pretty soon!
- Lincoln Northwest Nest (2023 Rank: 6)
The Nest can pack the stands better than most of the Student Sections you’ll see in Nebraska. The Neon Theme has to be my favorite.
- Creighton Prep Birdcage (2023 Rank: 4)
