  • 2023 WEST VIRGINIA FINAL TOP 30 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    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 an understatement.

    We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in West Virginia 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.

    This is our second year covering Football Student Sections in West Virginia.

    I feel like we haven’t gotten a solid grasp of West Virginia Student Sections yet, but we have noticed more Student Sections in this state, so we hope to be more accurate.

    It is tough since the majority of these Student Sections are very alike and equal.

    The West Virginia Football Student Section Champion will move on to Regionals in hopes to get the National Championship banner as voting will now get involved!

    So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Mountain State.

    2023 WEST VIRGINIA FINAL TOP 30 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Morgantown Rowdie Society

    The Rowdie Society was definitely Rowdie. They loved showing off their school spirit basically every week. They can pack the stands and go nuts, giving opposing teams a hard time to focus. We’ll see how they’ll do in Regionals and Nationals, but for now, the Morgantown Rowdie Society is your 2023 West Virginia Football Student Section of the Year!

    1. John Marshall Maniacs

    The Maniacs is regarding by many as one of the best and you can see why. Calling them Maniacs seems fitting because this is a crazy group of kids in the stands!

    1. Musselman Maniacs

    The Maniacs were introduced to us this fall and they didn’t disappoint. They were thought about for the top spot and battled. This is an amazing Student Section

    The Dog Pound packed the house and loved showing it off on social media. Dog Pound is always on are radar and you can’t blame us for it!

  • 2023 KENTUCKY FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    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 an understatement.

    We had 12 Student Section of the Week winners in Kentucky 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.

    This is our second year covering Football Student Sections in Kentucky.

    I feel like we haven’t gotten a solid grasp of Kentucky Student Sections yet, but we have noticed more Student Sections in this state, so we hope to be more accurate.

    The Kentucky Football Student Section Champion will move on to Regionals in hopes to get the National Championship banner as voting will now get involved!

    So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Bluegrass State.

    2023 KENTUCKY FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Male Dawgpound

    The Dawgpound packed the stands and stayed with the rest of the big Student Section this season. A lot of amazing Student Sections in this state and it was close. We’ll see how the Dawgpound will fare in Regionals and Nationals, but for now, the Male Dawgpound is the 2023 Kentucky Football Student Section of the Year!

    1. Bowling Green Bad Boyz

    Bowling Green got off to an amazing start and stayed the course as they ended as one of the best in Kentucky!

    1. Boyle County Rebel Rowdies

    When you have one of the best football teams in Kentucky, you will have a packed Student Section. This is definitely a Rowdy bunch!

    1. Henry Clay

    One of the better teams in the state had to have one of the better Student Sections in the state. You would be right!

    1. Martha Layne Collins Hype Team

    The Hype Team is just getting started. I can see their Basketball Student Section being better and that is scary if the Football Student Section is Top 5 this season. Definitely all Hype at MLC!

    I feel like we haven’t gotten a solid grasp of Ohio Student Sections yet, but we have noticed more Student Sections in this state, so we hope to be more accurate. What helped us this fall is was our preseason rankings. One Student Section wasn’t happy about it and they proved us why we have preseason rankings.

    The Ohio Football Student Section Champion will move on to Regionals in hopes to get the National Championship banner as voting will now get involved!

    So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in the Buckeye State.

    2023 OHIO FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Centerville Herd

    This was an easy pick. The Herd let me know that not only is the Herd one of the best in Ohio, but one of the nations best. The Herd rocks any theme as good as anyone else in the state. The photos are inside of this packed Student Section. We will see if the Herd can get past Regionals to get to Nationals, but they have officially punched one ticket, they’re the 2023 Ohio Football Student Section of the Year!

    1. Maryville Pit

    The Pit is one of the larger Student Sections in the state. Themes like Red, White and Blue or USA Themes for short, were rocked very well in the Pit.

    1. Archbishop Hoban Jungle

    The Jungle loved showing off their Student Section on social media. Very consistent and had a solid group of kids in the stands. I do like the Jungle hats in the stands. Nice touch for a crazy group of kids.

    1. Lakota West Red Sea

    The Red Sea loves showing off their Student Section and I don’t blame them. They came away with another successful season.

    1. Loveland

    Loveland social media is the reason why they get a Top 5 finish. They showed off an amazing Student Section this season!

    1. Kimberly Red Swarm

    The Red Swarm can pack the stands and love rocking Red at any time it seems. It does help that Kimberly has one of the best teams in the state, so with an attraction on the field brings Student who are interested in swarming the stands. We’ll see how this Student Section does in the Regionals and Nationals, but for now they’re the 2023 Wisconsin Football Student Section of the Year!

    1. Arrowhead

    This looks like a fun Student Section to be around. They can rock their school colors and rock out the gold. This Student Section is styling and profiling. WOO!

    1. Oak Creek

    Oak Creek can pack the stands and prepares themselves for battle in the stands as they rattle any opponent that hits their field.

    1. Case

    Black, White, Green & Gold, this Student Section makes its Case. They can also pack the stands and rock it at the same time.

    1. Waunakee

    Waunkee can rock any theme, but I did enjoy the USA Theme. One of the more consistent Student Sections in the state.

    2023 MICHIGAN FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Utica Tribe

    The Tribe made a big jump in the rankings. The social media improved a lot and showed off a consistent crazy Student Section. I do love me a Neon Theme and the Tribe rocked it. A well improved Student Section will look to battle in Regionals and Nationals, but for now, they’re the 2023 Michigan Football Student Section of the Year!

    1. Henry Ford II Nest

    The Nest rocked the Neon Theme and other themes this season. The Nest handled business once again and battled for the top spot. It was a close one, but I have mad respect for the Nest. Social media is great and so is the Nest.

    1. West Bloomfield Swamp

    The Swamp had plenty to cheer for as they had one of the best football teams in the state on the football field. It’s not like the Swamp needs a reason to go nuts, but it helps!

    1. Milford Mav Pack 

    Mav Pack comes up again with a solid Student Section finish in Michigan. The Country Theme was fire. The Mav Pack social media game was also fire this fall.

    1. Lakeland Blue Crew

    The Blue Crew can rock the stands and rock any theme like the Camo Theme. Blue Crew is always crazy and a large Student Section as well.

    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 an understatement.

    We had 11 Student Section of the Week winners in Indiana 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.

    This is our second year covering Student Sections in Indiana, so we hope we were accurate.

    We are slowly getting to know more and more of this state when it comes to Student Sections. We have found some solid ones this season and we hope to continue to see more fantastic Student Sections in this state in the future. We do know this, this state is loaded with insane and amazing Student Sections. It helps when a TV channel in Indianapolis where the best Student Section in that region gets a banner. That has open the floodgates in regards to school spirit. Hats off to WISH-TV The Zone.

    The Indiana Football Student Section Champion will move on to Regionals in hopes to get the National Championship banner as voting will now get involved!

    So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in Hoosier State.

    2023 INDIANA FINAL TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS

    1. Bishop Chatard Trojan Nation

    The large amount of blue and white and the super large banner being surfed around the Student Section is insane. This Student Section wants to be the best and they show it off. So many themes where it is hard to pick my favorite. The Blue and White would have to be my favorite. They want to be the best and now they can battle for a Regional and National Student Section title as Bishop Chatard is your 2023 Indiana Football Student Section of the Year.

    1. Hamilton Southeastern Blue Crew

    The Blue Crew has to be one of the largest Student Section in the state. Like Bishop Chatard, the Blue Crew Blue and White is one of the best out there. I did like the USA theme.

    1. Fishers Tiger Cage

    The Tiger Cage can pack the stands to the brim. One of the best and the Neon Theme is my favorite. Such an insane Student Section.

    1. New Albany Dogpound

    Dogpound is an underlooked Student Section. This is a solid Student Section and loves to rock Red and Black. The banner and themes were amazing. Such a crazy Student Section that can be savages.

    1. Cathedral Irish Nightmare

    The Irish Nightmare Neon Theme was my absolute favorite. Such an amazing Student Section that gets another Top 5 finish.

    This is our second year covering Student Sections in Illinois, so we hope we were accurate.

    I thought this state would be difficult to cover based on the large number of schools in this state, but it turns out that some of these Student Sections really showed up this fall and it made picking number one so tough. A lot of Student Sections battled for the top spot and no one really stood out above the rest.

    The Illinois Football Student Section Champion will move on to Regionals in hopes to get the National Championship banner as voting will now get involved!

    So, let’s see who made the list and who is the best in The Prairie State.

    I wish I could have found a better photo of the Neon Out, but Blue Out and Yellow Out rocked! The Blue Man Group needs to give credit to their social media team because they made it known who has the best school spirit in the state. We’ll see how Blue Man Group does in Regionals and perhaps Nationals, but for now, the St. Charles North Blue Man Group is the 2023 Illinois Football Student Section of the year!

    1. Lincoln Way West Westside

    The Westside Orange Out looks sick! The Stable showed off their Student Section and with a crowd like this, you can’t blame them!

    1. Leyden Nest

    Hard to believe I had the Nest unranked in the Preseason Student Section Rankings, but that was a huge mistake. The Nest is one of the best in the state year in and year out!

    1. Mahomet-Seymour

    This Student Section can hang with the best of them in the state. From the looks of it, even the weather doesn’t stand a chance in stopping this Student Section!

    1. Maine South Hawk Nation

    Hawk Nation can pack their Student Section to the brim. Solid Student Section, Loud Student Section that earned a Top 5 finish.

  • 2023 WEST VIRGINIA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 30 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and two years ago, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states last fall.

    This last winter, we went to all 50 states. No one has ever done that before…until now!

    This is still a one-man operation for the most part.

    I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.

    We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December. 

    If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.

    Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

    We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of West Virginia.

    We are getting to know this state and their amazing Student Sections more and more this fall. This state is deep in school spirit. Should be a fun battle for first place.

    Last season, Martinsburg Dog Pound took the title as the best Student Section in West Virginia. The Dogpound is amazing and solid on social media, but this state just got better as we discovered so many amazing Student Sections in this state. This will be tougher than before for the Dogpound to repeat as state champs!

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for West Virginia, it’s the John Marshall. This is a very rowdy Student Section that can contend with the best of them. You don’t want to go easy on these kids.

    Can John Marshall be on top in the Mountain State? Let’s find out.

    2023 WEST VIRGINIA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 30 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Musselman Maniacs

    This Student Section is a Maniac when it comes to showing off their school spirit on social media. With a Student Section like the Musselman Maniacs, it is no wonder why they show it off. They can hang with the best of them in this state.

  • 2023 MICHIGAN FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    In 2015, yours truly began covering Student Sections in Orange County, California. We expanded to Southern California in 2017 and two years ago, we added four more states and added 15 more states. We went to 40 states last fall.

    This last winter, we went to all 50 states. No one has ever done that before…until now!

    This is still a one-man operation for the most part.

    I know that Student Sections have a lot of work to do to get the students to the games to cheer on their classmates and go along with the theme and make sure they don’t cause trouble. These student sections deserve recognition.

    We will kick off the Student Section season with Preseason Football Student Section Rankings. REMEMBER, this is a PREVIEW. It is merely a prediction. The real rankings come out in November or December. 

    If you feel your student section isn’t ranked high enough or not ranked at all, let us know and we’ll keep a close eye on them.

    Every week, we will also have Student Section of the Week for each state. Once you win Student Section of the Week, you can’t win it again, but you still have to battle for the top spot in your state and perhaps the Nation as we will also name a Football Student Section National Champion. 

    We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Michigan.

    There’s some solid Student Sections in this state and one Student Section in particular wasn’t notice and they didn’t notice us last fall, but that is going to change in 2023. We may have a new champ this fall.

    Last season, Chippewa Valley Rowdy Red Zone took the title as the best Student Section in Michigan. A samll, but amazing Student Section last season. They showed that it’s not the size of the Student Section, but the noise that they make that counts.

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Michigan, it’s West Bloomfield Swamp. Solid Student Section that was notice last season and we expect them to battle for the top spot come November.

    Can the Swamp be on top in the Great Lakes State? Let’s find out.

    2023 MICHIGAN FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. Lakeland Blue Crew

    This state has some very solid Student Sections and we feel we haven’t discovered some of the Student Sections in this state. Hopefully more will be revealed and we get to meet some amazing schools with fantastic school spirit.

    Last season, Naperville North Dawgpound took the title as the best Student Section in Illinois. A fantastic Student Section last season, but it will be tough to repeat once we start seeing other Student Sections going crazy. This is a Student Section that will prove they are still the one.

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Illinois, it’s Lyons Township. We ranked Lyons a little low last season and they let us know. We will keep an eye on this Student Section this season as they will try to prove they’re number one in the state.

    Can the Lyons Township be on top in the Prairie State? Let’s find out.

    2023 ILLINOIS FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

    1. St. Charles North Blue Man Group

    Blue Man Group is a large and colorful Student Section. We hope to see the same from this group of kids. If we do the same the large number of kids going crazy on social media, Blue Man Group will stand alone on top.

    We didn’t hear a whole much from Wisconsin, but we know some solid group of kids and we hope that list grows as we find out who is the best in the state.

    Last season, the Franklin took the title as the best Student Section in Wisconsin. I felt that this Student Section was above the rest in this state and I could be right, but other Student Sections will start to show off their school spirit more and more, so Franklin better be ready to defend their title.

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Wisconsin, it’s the Catholic Memorial. Seems like some private schools have the rowdiest Student Sections and I can see Catholic Memorial going crazy this year. We hope to see those results.

    Can the Catholic Memorial be on the top in the Badger State? Let’s find out.

    Ohio is one of those states where they take pride in school spirit. A lot of great Student Sections in this states, but we don’t see them as much as we like.

    Last season, the St. Edward’s Madhouse took the title as the best Student Section in Ohio. This is a solid Student Section, but we see Student Sections in this state that interact with us that want this top spot. It would be tough to just skip them for St. Edward’s again.

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Ohio, it’s Kings Red Sea. The Red Sea consistently show off their school spirit and they will be serious contenders.

    Kentucky has a solid group of Student Sections and it will be tough to figure who will be the top dawg in this state. Some big time schools and some schools we have discovered. This will be an interesting group.

    Last Football season, we had Oldham County O-Zone as the top Football Student Section in Kentucky. The O-Zone is ride or die. Their football team had a tough one last season, but the O-Zone never gave up. If the football team improves, then this is a Student Section you don’t want to mess with.

    In each state, we will name one student section to look out for. A student section that doesn’t get talked about a lot by us or others and for Kentucky, it’s the Marshall County. Marshall gets a ton of respect during basketball season. They have a solid Student Section indoors, but can they duplicate that indoors? Definitely doable.


    I guess there’s only one way to find out.
