Wando Chophouse (Last Year's Rank: 18) The Chophouse showed sup big and it is never good for an opposing team when you have a rowdy Student Section behind the backboard. Definitely a distraction and the Chophouse also dominated the votes! The Wando Chophouse ends up on top as the 2025-2026 South Carolina Winter Student Section of the Year!

Independence Indy Nation (Last Year: 14) Indy Nation took over this school year and wanted everyone to know they are number one in Tennessee from start to finish. After taking the Fall Season, Indy Nation didn't want to add an asterisk to that banner they had made. Indy Nation continued that endless amount of energy into the Winter. Loud and insane and another fantastic job promoting their Student Section on Instagram. Independence rocked the voting part once again. The Independence Indy Nation is your 2025-2026 Tennessee Student Section of the Year! https://www.instagram.com/p/DVHVVGOkYXH/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Baylor (Last Year: 9) Ravenwood Nest (Last Year: 2) Summit (Last Year: 23) https://www.instagram.com/p/DUeGgRWER6c/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== McCallie (Last Year Rank: NR) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUBvwuYkjnE/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Knoxville Catholic (Last Year: 3) Lipscomb Academy Stable (Last Year: 5) https://www.instagram.com/p/DT5fpg3jgIX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Father Ryan Jungle (Last Year: 1) Hardin Valley Academy Nest (Last Year:...

Lewisburg "Children of the Corn" (Last Years Rank: NR) The Children of the Corn dominated this Winter. We discovered Lewisburg this Winter and they look like they’ll be the new powerhouse Student Section in the Winter! They show up and get loud and are savages! They come to get under your skin! They dominated in the stands and in the voting polls as the Children of the Corn of Lewisburg are your 2025-2026 Mississippi Winter Student Section Champions! https://www.instagram.com/p/DWXrNtmjR3N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Madison Central Jungle (Last Year: 3) https://www.instagram.com/p/DVBXBlpDoV_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Leake Academy (Last Year: NR) Brookhaven (Last Year: 17) https://www.instagram.com/p/DUd-m_wEZqM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Northwest Rankin (Last Year: NR) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVBfvWuEf2b/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Pelahatchie (Last Year: NR) Screenshot Petal Red Zone (Last Year: 23) Saltillo Tigers Den (Last Year: 21) https://www.instagram.com/p/DRSFTrnDhUB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Simpson Academy (Last Year: NR) https://www.instagram.com/p/DVHmTmqCQE_/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Starkville Nest (Last Year: 6) https://www.instagram.com/p/DQuYNtpiUFe/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Meridian (Last Year: NR) Cookeville...

Catholic Bear Naish (Last Year's Rank: 2) Bear Naish swept the top spot for the 2025-26 Student Section season. It may look easy, but it really isn't with some of the Student Sections here battling for the top spot in the voting. It wasn't a problem this year for Catholic. To be the best, you have to get past Baton Rouge as the Catholic Bear Naish is your 2025-2026 Louisiana Winter Student Section Champion!

St. Pius X Jungle (Last Year's Rank: NR) The Jungle has crashed the party and it looks like they don't intend to leave. This not only looks like one of the best Student Section in the state, but one of the best in the nation. They easily took the top seed and dominated in the voting to maintain the top ranking. The Jungle looks large and in charge with the craziness and noise made in the stands. Definitely a distraction all year! We expect the Jungle to battle for more title, but for now, the St. Pius X Jungle is your 2024-2025 Georgia Winter Student Section of the Year!

St. Thomas Aquinas Rowdy Raiders (Last Year's Rank: 7) The Rowdy Raiders have always been near the top of every Student Section Rankings, but I'm trying to think when the last time we actually has them at the top of the list? I don't think we have. It is a shock, but this is a state full of superstar Student Sections and this time, it is the Rowdy Raiders turn. This Student Section was electric, but it was business as usual and as was their voting as they started as the one seed and proved that they were number one in the end. The St. Thomas Aquinas Rowdy Raiders are your 2025-2026 Florida Winter Student Section of the Year!

Dothan Wolfpack (Last Year Rank: 15) Wolfpack showed up big for their Winter teams and definitely showed up when it came to voting as the nine seed in the Alabama Winter Student Section playoffs, they cruised through the top seeded Student Section and kept it going by taking the title over the third seed. Well deserving for a solid Student Section as the Dothan Wolfpack is your 2025-2026 Alabama Winter Student Section Champions! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVMQogYD8FX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Huntsville (Rank: 5) https://www.instagram.com/p/DTlxLf9kraM/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Tuscaloosa County (Rank: 4) https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjF6b9jspd/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Vestavia Hills (Rank: 14) James Clemens Jet Nation (Rank: 2) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUfY0ZtADnE/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Gadsden City Storm (Rank: 3) https://www.instagram.com/p/DUxc7eBgJWo/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Wetumpka (Rank: NR) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTtJa1wEchC/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Hoover Boneyard (Rank: 1) Enterprise (Rank: 9) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUB6PjMjvgj/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Sparkman (Rank: NR) Thompson War Zone (Rank: 12) Opelika (Rank: NR) Hewitt-Trussville Dogpound (Rank: 10) Homewood (Rank: NR) Oxford (Rank: NR) Muscle Shoals (Rank: 6)...

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 New Jersey 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...
