Carroll was technically on the road in the Holy War, but the Golden Eagles had a bigger crowd and threw a dagger “20 years” chant in the closing seconds.

Last Week: 2

Kapaun has the premier student section leaders and even front row in the Wichita area. The Crusaders need more of a cohesive effort to get back to the top

Last Week: 4

Derby students drove an hour north to watch their team win 63-0 and raised money for a cause in the process.

Last Week: 1

Goddard dropped in the rankings but not as far as I expected playing at Valley Center. The Lions have a lot of passion and creativity.

Last Week: 3

This was the theme of the week. That alone keeps Andover in the top 5. The creativity was excellent as well, but I needed more content sent to me.

Newton deserves to go higher than No. 6, but I needed more photos and videos, and the Railers needed the top 5 to not be as good as they were.

Last Week: 6

Campus, like Newton, falls victim to a strong top half of the Week 6 rankings. The Colts brought it for blackout and added creativity, too.

Last Week: 5

I love versatility in my student sections. Andover Central supports its undefeated soccer team like it does for its 2-4 football team.

Last Week: 9

A nice, compact showing for Valley Center at home. If the Hornets keep this up, they will have to climb up the ranks.

Last Week: 14

Last week, the McPherson students showed out in Buhler. They got their shot at home this week and didn’t disappoint.

Last Week: NR

Eisenhower was back home in Week 6. Although the Tigers didn’t have a lot to cheer about, they did anyway and that’s commendable.

Last Week: NR

Aliyah Funschelle was on hand to see the Andale faithful in Week 6. Although they didn’t get a good game, they were live for a 55-0 win.

Last Week: NR

I’m not sure whether there is a student section in this top photo, but regardless, Clearwater’s stadium was packed in Week 6.

Last Week: 12

Trinity Academy is winless, but its student section continues to make the 30-minute drives to watch its team on the road.

Last Week:

The Crusaders have become one of the more promising teams in the Wichita area, and the students are reflecting that.
