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 and now we add our friends from the North in Canada on top of dividing Texas into two regions, similar to what we did with California. 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 good friends at OC Student Sections and Stadium Geeks with help from Maryland Student Section Rater, NorCal Student Sections and many more. This year we plan to get several “barstool”...

Cumberland Deck (2024 Rank: NR) We discovered The Deck this year and they made a splash this Winter! A solid Student Section that meshed in with the mix of great Rhode Island Student Sections! Near the hardwood or the ice, the Deck is ready to stack…well the Deck or stands. Whatever you call it, this Student Section handled business and that is why the Cumberland Deck is your 2024-2025 Rhode Island Winter Student Section of the Year!

Tappan Zee Red Sea (2024 Rank: 4) The Red Sea looked like one of the larger Student Sections in New York this Winter, which explains why they got the most votes to get the top spot in the state. Loud and proud, the Red Sea packed the stands and looked like a distraction for opposing teams. Student Section Report is headed to New York in mid-October (Long Island area) and we may have to stop by to checkout this Student Section, but one thing is for sure and that is the Tappan Zee Red Sea of New York is your 2024-2025 New York Winter Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG0oNpeusL5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Seton Catholic (2024 Rank: NR) Suffern (2024 Rank: NR) https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4AmsfdOaMy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Christian Brothers Academy of Albany (2024 Rank: 13) Salamanca (2024 Rank: 1) https://www.instagram.com/p/DGyAX4UOAuy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Williamsville North...

Exeter Hawks Nest (2024 Rank: 5) One of the bigger Student Sections in New Hampshire was the Hawks Nest! Every photo we saw this winter portrayed that this is one of the biggest Student Sections out there and they looked hyped and rowdy! It's not like this was a one man show, this state has some very solid Student Sections. Don't underestimate New Hampshire Student Sections and definitely don't underestimate the Exeter Hawks Nest, who are your 2024-2025 New Hampshire Winter Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/p/DFisjGoRVZl/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Oyster River Bearcat Den (2024 Rank: NR) Alvirne Barn (2024 Rank: 12) https://www.instagram.com/p/DF21NZnunnU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Manchester Memorial (2024 Rank: NR) Nashua North (2024 Rank: 1) https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnV7m6xKFK/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Merrimack Tribe (2024 Rank: NR) Trinity Red Nation (2024 Rank: 2) Concord Red Tide (2024 Rank: NR) Spaulding Red Nation (2024 Rank: 22) Pinkerton...

Burlington (2024 Rank: 6) Burlington can pack the house in the stand in front of the hardwood or the stands near the ice. This was a great Student Section this past school year! Burlington is your 2024-2025 Vermont Winter Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/p/DG8KI2pOisz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Rice Memorial Green Knights Castle (2024 Rank: 2)  Colchester Laker Nation (2024 Rank: 3) https://www.instagram.com/p/DGVngVrJPBT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Montpelier (2024 Rank: 5) https://www.instagram.com/p/DG_Hb0DgUfb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== U-32 (2024 Rank: 23) https://www.instagram.com/p/DG9Nmf3vC1B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Vergennes (2024 Rank: 4) Rutland (2024 Rank: 16) South Burlington Hype Squad (2024 Rank: 18) North County Union (2024 Rank: 8) Champlain Valley Union (2024 Rank: 9) Otter Valley House of Noise (2024 Rank: 10) Hartford Canes Warning (2024 Rank: 7) Hazen (2024 Rank: 11) Thetford Academy (2024 Rank: 15) Brattleboro Union (2024 Rank: 1) Harwood (2024 Rank: 21) Fair Haven (2024 Rank: 17) Danville...

Leavitt Swarm (2024 Rank: NR) I know it would take awhile to discover some solid Student Sections in Maine and we found a few of them, including the Swarm! This looks like a very rowdy and crazy Student Section! Solid Student Section and one that we will definitely keep an eye on as one of Maine's best! We can't wait to see more of the Swarm, but for now, the Leavitt Swarm is your 2024-2025 Maine Winter Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/p/DF-aqaIRqOf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Thornton Academy (2024 Rank: NR) Kennebunk (2024 Rank: NR) https://www.instagram.com/p/DGqH4U8x1DX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Gorham (2024 Rank: 5) https://www.instagram.com/p/DGojL6JvG4p/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== York Catpack (2024 Rank: 7) Noble (2024 Rank: 2) South Portland Red Riot (2024 Rank: 21) Falmouth (2024 Rank: NR) Portland Dawgpound (2024 Rank: 1) Caribou (2024 Rank: 12) Orono (2024 Rank: 3) Bonny Eagle (2024 Rank:...

Bishop Feehan Fanatics (2024 Rank: 22) You don't really see a Student Section pack the stands for a girls basketball game on a consistent basis and that is a shame because it can be a physical game on the ladies side, but Bishop Feehan are really a bunch of Fanatics and go nut for whatever sport they are cheering for, including girls basketball (we just checked, Top 5 girls basketball program in the state, they're legit!) The Fanatics went nuts and I'm sure they rattled some opposing teams! They definitely rattled the Student Section in the voting section in Massachusetts and in the National Voting Bracket as they made it to the Elite 8 where they lost a close one to the eventual National Champions. It was an amazing run and an amazing school year...

Special Thanks to @ciacbarstool for their help East Haven Hive (2024 Rank: NR) In what is considered the best state for the Winter Student Section, it is hard to be the best when you have Student Sections that are just as crazy as you, but the Hive packed the stands and stood out not just in the stands, but in the voting booth. The Hive battled and with a state loaded with Student Section talent, had the top seed in the Student Section playoffs. The Hive had a great run in the Student Section playoffs, but fell short. While they didn't get the National Title, one thing is for sure, the East Haven Hive is the 2024-2025 Connecticut Winter Student Section Champions. "It took a lot to get started at the beginning, but once we...
