2024 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 25 RANKINGS

Off front, Previews, Southwest, Student Section Buzz,

Let’s take a quick timeout from the Final State Rankings and go back to the Student Section Report roots!

When this Student Section Rankings started with OC Sidelines in 2015, I didn’t expect an overwhelming reaction. We remember naming La Habra Clan (Now the La Habra Highlander Huddle) was our first Football Student Section Champion.

We extend the Student Section Rankings to Southern California when OCSidelines became SoCal Sidelines with Murrieta Mesa being the 2016 SoCal Student Section Champions. When SoCalSidelines went out of business, we began SoCal Student Sections, which later became the Student Section Report.

While we are the first and only ones to ever rank Student Sections all 50 states, it all started in Southern California, so I have still have knowledge of the Student Section scene in SoCal despite focusing in all 50 states.

The winners in each of the five SoCal Regions will battle in the National Student Section playoffs!

Let’s see who will battle for SoCal!

2024 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA REGIONAL FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 25 RANKINGS

2024 INLAND EMPIRE TOP 25 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

  1. Great Oak Red Wave (2023 Rank: 2)

Red Wave knows the assignment. In fact, I’m pretty sure they invented the assignment. The Red Wave packs the stands every home game and goes insane! They enjoy the music at the most appropriate times, something that some Student Sections struggle to do, they go nuts when it’s time to rattle their opponent and lost their minds when the Wolfpack score! The Red Wave knows how to work social media and always love to show off their school spirit. We’ll see how they will do when they get ready to vote in the National Football Student Section playoffs with the top seed in the Southwest Regio, but one thing is for sure, the Great Oak Red Wave are the Inland Empire Football Student Section Champions!
