Students from Jonathan Law High School believe they have the best student section on Friday Nights. 

The majority of people at the school attend every home football game to support their Lawmen. Seniors hype up the stands with posters, cheers, and more. 

“Jonathan Law has the best student section because we are the loudest at every game,” senior Jon Vitale said. “We come up with different chants, and we also go to away games, we take our student section wherever our team goes.”

With the help of the seniors, every person is on their feet screaming, and hyping up the team. 

There are few places that are louder than Law’s student section on Friday nights. 

“Everyone needs to be hype, there’s no way around it,” senior Eryn Mower said. “The whole game everyone needs to be loud. When they aren’t being loud me and other seniors use the megaphones to make them louder.” 

One of the main features of the Jonathan Law student section is the lettermen.

In the very front row of the student section, six shirtless boys stand with the word L-A-W-M-E-N painted on their stomachs. These boys hype the crowd up and scream louder than anyone. 

“The lettermen hype up the whole student section, and get everyone screaming and on their feet throughout the whole game,” senior letterman Brett Pisani said. 

A weekly goal for the student section is to never have a dull home game. 

Something that makes every game so different, is the themes. Every Friday the whole student section is dressed from head to toe in a different color.

“My favorite themed game is the blackout because every single person is wearing all black, it represents our main school color,” sophomore Kari Boyle said. “It intimidates the other school seeing a bunch of kids all in black screaming the whole game.”

When Law’s football team is winning, there is nothing stopping the student section from going crazy.

The multiple cheers that the students have for the games can change the mood of the whole team instantly.

My favorite cheer is ‘Rowdy’ because it pumps up the crowd, motivates the players, and makes the game more exciting,” sophomore Sadie Willett said. “Especially because all the cheerleaders, all the students, and all the parents know the cheer, so every person on the Law side is cheering this cheer, which makes us 10x louder.”
