2024 PENNSYLVANIA 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 Pennsylvania. We had the South Fayette Jungle in 2022 and Cardinal O’Hara Lions Den in 2023.

This is a state has some great Student Sections, but I feel like it should be deep with amazing school spirit. Hopefully that will change in the winter.

We will have 4 Student Sections in Pennsylvania 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 Keystone State.

2024 PENNSYLVANIA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

RED = PLAYOFF BOUND

  1. Thomas Jefferson Jungle (2023 Rank: 8)

The Jungle really wanted this! They packed the stands and got rowdy from start to finish. The Jungle promoted themselves better than anyone else in the state. They earned this one. 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 Pennsylvania Football Student Section of the Year!

  1. Mt. Lebanon Devils Den (2023 Rank: 14)

The Devils Den got off to a great starts and have been somewhat savages in the stands. They stayed the course and get a Top 3 finish in the state. We’ll see if they can market and promote the voting in the National Football Student Section playoffs!

  1. Warwick Tribe (2023 Rank: 3)

Warwick is back at the top of the rankings. Business as usual for the Tribe as they packed the stands and went wild this fall for their football team! We’ll see if they can market and promote the voting in the National Football Student Section playoffs!

  1. Coatesville (2023 Rank: NR)

Coatesville has crashed the party! The packed the stands and the White Out Theme caught my eye! It was good enough to finish in the Top 5. We’ll see how they fare in the National Student Section playoffs.

  1. Peters Township (2023 Rank: 29)

Late change, but this is one of those changes I just couldn’t ignore. Be ready for Peters Township to take over the top spot moving forward. We have our eye on them from here on out.
