2024 NORTH CAROLINA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

Off East Coast, front, Previews, Student Section Buzz,

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 12 Student Section of the Week winners in Pennsylvania 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 North Carolina. We had the Crest Crazies in 2022 and Providence Day in 2023.

This is a state has some great Student Sections and it got a little deeper. This is a state under the radar when it comes to school spirit. In fact, one of the best states when it comes to Student Sections this fall!

We will have 4 Student Sections in North Carolina 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 Tarheel State.

2024 NORTH CAROLINA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Myers Park Stable (2023 Rank: 14)

The Stable had to fight for this one. I kept going back and forth with the Lake Norman WIldcat Den and them, but the Stable showed some consistency, more so than the past season when it came to showing off their Student Section. We’ll see how far they will go when they vote in the National Football Student Section playoffs, but for now they’re the 2024 North Carolina Football Student Section of the Year!

  1. Lake Norman Wildcat Den (2023 Rank: NR)

The Wildcat Den may have the largest Student Section in the state. I can sense you might get rattled if your team has to deal with that, along with blindness with all the neon. We’ll see how far they’ll go in the voting for the National Football Student Section playoffs!

  1. Mooresville Devils Den (2023 Rank: NR)

The Devils Den was evil if you were the opponent. This Student Section was en fuego and they rattled every opposing team that came their way. We’ll see if they can market and promote the voting in the National Football Student Section playoffs!

  1. South Iredell Viking Valley (2023 Rank: NR)

Viking Valley looks like a colorful crowd. They packed the stands and went nuts and now we’ll see how they’ll fare in the National Student Section playoffs that start at the end of the week.

  1. Weddington (2023 Rank: 11)

Weddington had a big year in the stands. They packed the house and got rowdy on a consistent basis. They earned this Top 5 finish.
