The latest news for the SouthWest Region Student Section Report
- 2023 ARIZONA 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 Arizona.
I have checked out Arizona Student Sections during basketball season the last two seasons, but I have yet to see the football side in Arizona. This state is loaded with great Student Sections and they will battle to dethrone the defending State Champs.
Last season, the Highland Nest took the title as the best Student Section in Arizona. The Nest ran away with this, but I expect other Student Sections to jump in and battle for the top spot this fall. Some Student Sections have shown a strong showing so far.
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 Arizona, it’s the Canyon del Sol Tribe. During football season, the Tribe is quiet, but they are making noise as the season begins in Arizona. I expect this to keep going throughout the whole season.
Can the Tribe be on the top in the Grand Canyon State? Let’s find out.
2023 ARIZONA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS
- Chaparral Birdcage
The Birdcage is rarely seen in comparison to other Student Sections, but I have a feeling we will see them more often on social media. A solid Student Section that has indicated that they will prove they are number one this fall. It will take a lot to push Highland out of the top spot, but the Birdcage is ready!

We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of New Mexico.
We’ve covered New Mexico last season, but we didn’t get much from them. We hope to see and give them more exposure on here and on social media.
Last season, the Farmington Rowdy Crowd took the title as the best Student Section in New Mexico. It will be tough for them to repeat, but it is there’s to lose.
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 New Mexico, it’s Roswell. Many people associate Roswell with sci-fi and aliens, but this Student Section might be aliens themselves because they’re out of this world…not a good pun, sorry about that.
Can Roswell knock off Farmington and take over the top spot in New Mexico? Let’s find out.

One of the best teams in the state will come with one of the best Student Sections in the state. Only problem is they have to show it off on social media or one of the Student Sections underneath them will take the top spot come November.

We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Nevada.
We’ve covered Nevada in the past and it is a battle for the top spot. A lot of super solid Student Sections in the city of Sin. Big gamble in the rankings…pun intended!
Last season, the Bishop Gorman G-Block took the football Student Section state title after falling super short the previous year. The G-Block should have what it takes to repeat in 2023.
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 Nevada, it’s the Galena Riot Squad. This football team has improved in each of the two seasons we have covered this state. When a team improves, so does its Student Section. We’re hoping the Riot Squad goes crazy this fall.
Will the Riot Squad cause a ruckus and bump the G-Block out of the top spot? Let’s find out.
2023 NEVADA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS
- Bishop Gorman G-Block
G-Block will have a handful of Student Sections coming to dethrone them, but thankfully they have a football team that is used to that situation. The G-Block and the Gaels are the best in Nevada and are crazy in the stands and on the field!

We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Southern California.
SoCal is our bread and butter as we are located here in Orange County. The Student Section Report started as SoCal Student Sections in 2018 and before that we covered SoCal at SoCal Sidelines in 2015. While we have grown outside of SoCal, it is still one of the best to cover. Amazing school spirit down here!
Last Football season, we had Carlsbad Loud Crowd as the top Football Student Section in SoCal. Can they repeat and be on top in not just SoCal, but the best Student Section in the nation. The Loud Crowd battled for the National Title, but my once small website crashed during the voting and the Loud Crowd couldn’t make a go for it. If they can get past everyone in SoCal, put your money down for them to take the National 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 SoCal, it’s the La Serna Kingdom. The Kingdom battled for the top spot in LA with Redondo Union Flock, but now with no region rankings in SoCal, they will battle with the best all around SoCal. I think the Kingdom will make a splash and battle with the best this season.
Will the Kingdom get past the Loud Crowd, Great Oak Red Wave and the Flock? We’ll find out.2023 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS
- Carlsbad Loud Crowd
The Loud Crowd has a dynasty on their hands and that is not easy to do in one of the toughest regions in the country. This should be the Loud Crowd year to take the National Title. All they have to do is the same thing they’ve been doing on social media. Show off that school spirit.

We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Hawaii.
This is a tough one for Hawaii and our thoughts and prayers are with them with the recent fires that has taken innocent lives. Student Section season might be different or perhaps non-existent. Whatever the path is, we support it.
Last Football season, we had Punahou as the top Football Student Section in Hawaii. Can they repeat as Hawaii best or will someone push them past the tide?
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 Hawaii, it’s the Iolani. I feel only one Student Section can hang with Punahou and Iolani could be the only one that can take the defending champs down.

We continue with the 2023 Football Student Section Season with a preview of Utah.
When we covered Student Sections in Utah, I noticed a bunch of fantastic and rowdy Student Sections. A lot of great pride in Utah and I love it. This state will probably be one of the best Student Section states in the US!
Last Football season, we had Corner Canyon Stable as the top Football Student Section in Utah. Can they repeat and be on top over some of the countries best Student Sections in the nation that happen to be in the same state?
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 Utah, it’s the Davis Mob. Davis Mob is consistent on social media and for the squad they have in the stands, you can’t blame them for showing off their school spirit. This Student Section can hang.
Will this Student Section have what it takes to be Utah best? Let’s find out.2023 UTAH FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION TOP 40 PRESEASON RANKINGS

This Student Section is insane. The interaction with this Student Section on social media was amazing at first, but if they can share that amazing Student Section with all of us, they’ll earn this top spot and perhaps the Nation’s top spot by seasons end.

- 2022 TEXAS TOP 40 FOOTBALL STUDENT SECTION RANKINGS
We continue our Final Rankings in the 41 states we covered this football season.
To say I’m overwhelmed with the work that comes along with this is an understatement.
We had Student Section of the Week for over 10 weeks and that helped us determine who had the best Student Section and which one 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 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.
Texas is one of the deepest states when it comes to Student Sections. Southern California, Arizona, Ohio, Oklahoma and Oregon are the top dawgs when it comes to Student Sections. With so many schools in Texas, we needed help and thankfully, Texas Sports Network (@txsportsnetwork on Instagram) helped us with the rankings. The majority of the rankings were done by them and they did a terrific job! Give them a follow!
So many great Student Sections in this state. Let’s take a look at our Top 40 and name our state champ!
